Each Summer, for the past few years, a duck-couple has stopped by our home nearly every day.

  Beautiful light and colors, Jeff. The ducks must be tough, since chlorine in the pool water doesn't faze them.

  Hopefully they're low maintenance guests. But colorful, and they give you great photo ops, so probably a good thing overall! Nicely done, Jeff!

  It must be a beautiful oasis for the pair. Usually mallards are SO promiscuous. It's nice to see a couple enjoying each other's company.

  it seems that the misses misses out on all the gorgeous colors that the mister enjoys but your photo work here shows that while she may not have all the colors, she has some gorgeous colors and features herself. Love the clarity of your picture my friend.

  Clearly they know when they are well off. They show up and pose for photos and you let them stay.:)

  I hope you don't find them swimming in your pool, Jeff! But what a splendid specimen and terrific capture. Excellent detail and clarity. I guess I wouldn't mind a few feathered visitors if I had a pool!!
