Nice captures Jeff, they are making themselves right at home! #10260779

Well...I think you have the rubber duckie in the pool covered, Jeff! LOL This is a great capture with wonderful details and perfect colors. #10260785

Mary K. Robison August 03, 2012

Beautiful light and colors, Jeff. The ducks must be tough, since chlorine in the pool water doesn't faze them. #10260795

Tammy M. Anderson level-deluxe August 03, 2012

Great captures, Jeff. Beautiful details. #10260839

Ken Smith level-classic August 03, 2012

Hopefully they're low maintenance guests. But colorful, and they give you great photo ops, so probably a good thing overall! Nicely done, Jeff! #10260846

Michelle Alton August 03, 2012

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. #10260883

How adorable to have your own duck visitors! Fantastic images. #10260917
