This baby duckling got separated from his mother and siblings and was looking very lost and bewildered.
Sorry I am so behind on my commenting - have been battling a sinus thing - will catch up soon!

Oh, what a marvelous capture. You can see the confusion in this little guy's tentative posture. Beautiful work, Rona. Hope you feel better.

  What a funny little frog! Beautiful capture, Rona.

I can help with the sinus thing, I think. Two surgeries behind me and years of antibiotics. But have been able to keep infection at bay successfully for about ten years with only one episode getting out of hand.
Try X-Clear spray first (health food stores)...but the real winner is irrigation with warm saline solution (inhale UNiodized salt and boiled water using an ear syringe). Gross but do it twice (or more if it's BAD). I can give details if you're interested.

  Poor little thing! Terrific capture, Rona -- and hope you're better soon! BTW, I tried the X-Clear when Michelle recommended it a while back and it definitely helps keep my sinuses in check!

  Adorable capture, Rona, outstanding perspective showing how tiny he is on the lily pad. Hope he found his family and your sinuses have cleared!

  This is just so cute Rona and I love it the first time I saw it. I hope we see it again and that you get feeling better. Michelle is right for the cure...it isn't the most pleasant thing on earth but it works.

  Thank you all very much for your kind remarks and get well wishes. I did try Michelle's advice, which definitely improved things, but I also got antibiotics yesterday, so I'm on the mend!

  Ugh. Sinus problems. Not fun!!! Hope those pills are kicking in now. Michelle is right. Irrigation is awful but it does work!

So, are you sure this little baby wasn't just learning how to surf? I hope it found it's way back to mommy in a hurry!

Very sweet and cute, Rona!

HAPPY NEW YEAR (Again!) -Laura :D
GET WELL SOON!
