An apt dedication, Mary. This is wonderful--the way they lined up in perfect symmetry for you. Not sure how it's possible to actually "smile" with a hard bill for a mouth, but she DOES seem to be "kvelling" with pride! (untranslatable Yiddish word for something that a proud parent does)

Mary, I am so glad you were prompted to go to the park and thank you so much for your kind words. Your capture of this lovely family is outstanding. I love the way mother duck is looking proudly over her brood and how you have captured her wee ones busily doing what ducks do best. Fantastic timing and composition Mary and once again thank you. You have put a smile on my face tonight.

Thanks very much, Paul, Brett, Kerry, Michelle, and Nadya, for your encouraging comments. You've made my day! And, Ann ~ you're very welcome. I'm so glad you enjoyed the photo. And I need to thank YOU, for getting my lazy derriere out the door, which helped me re-discover my enthusiasm for photography. THANKS! Have a grand weekend, everyone!

Thank you for your friendly comments, ladies! Ann, you can bet I'll have more duckling photos to post ~ I took more than 300 photos! After deleting since midnight, I have "only" 200 to winnow down to some magical number, less than 50, I hope! And, yes, Tammy ~ I am SO glad I went to the park! I didn't expert to see younger ducklings today. I'm used to the "adolescent" size in summer. So Thursday was a fantastic surprise, and all because of Ann! :-D

Kirsten, Karen, Sam, Patricia, Maria, and Phil, thanks so much for your friendly and supportive words. I really appreciate them! And, Phil ~ as you may have guessed, this is the best one of more than 20 I shot of these little ones jockeying for position. I was so happy when I found this in the file --- made that trip to the park, lugging my tripod, truly worthwhile! Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!

Thanks, Colleen ~ glad you like it! I took so many shots of these little guys that day, and was truly surprised to see that, in this one, they'd encircled the bread so symmetrically. What are the odds, I wonder?
