Adorable little guy. I like the subdued colors and the light is lovely. #10241020

Susan Williams July 23, 2012

Thank you, David, Art and Carla. I would have liked to move those pinecones, but it would have probably felt like a violent act to that tiny little thing. Also, mom was close and I didn't want to alarm her so kept my distance with a telephoto lens. Such is the challenge of capturing baby ducks. #10241101
