My first laugh of the morning! Your title and caption are just as creative and fun as your photograph. Nice work, Bill! (Wanna come write headlines and captions for me?) :-) #123329

William C. Raco level-classic May 26, 2019

Hi Patricia.
I'd love to.

Thanks, Dolores.
I'm not sure why they were all posed as they were, but it did make for a good photo.

Hi Ellen.
Thanks. I like those orange feet, too.

oh my, Carolyn.
My apologies for overlooking you.
Thank you for your time and comments.
They truly are appreciated.

Murry Grigsby May 26, 2019

Too funny, Bill. I guess they'd finished their milk and quackers :0) Nice shot! #123538

Claudia Kuhn level-classic May 26, 2019

Great shot Bill! I love your title!! I am never very creative with mine. Who's in charge of this playground?? I like the green heads and orange feet. #123580

Susana Matos May 26, 2019

I know now this is not a composition kind of made-up... and, well, I suppose all this comments say how good this photo is! And I also love the title and your creativity (as Claudia says). We get used to your excellent photos, Su, Portugal #123595

Judith G. Secco May 26, 2019

Fantastic, Bill! Great imagination and wonderful job here.
Judy #123671

Gabriela Cunha May 26, 2019

This time, only when I opened the photo did I see the beauty of it... and they seemed like puppets or something just put there for you to take pictures to... very creative and beautiful

Evy Johansen level-classic May 26, 2019

This is really a great image, Bill! #123799

Lem Metro May 26, 2019

I was thinking like Susana, on this one. First thought, was cloning. Closer inspection and I was even more convinced. Then I noticed they all had their own markings and were distinct entities. About 23 of 'em, if I counted right. Not that it really matters how it is acheived. A good photo is a good photo. #123931

Gary H. Minish level-classic May 26, 2019

It looks like 5 minutes before feeding time at the clone factory! Excellent photo with great depth of field and super detail. Love your title and description also! Very nice shot, Bill :-) #124662

Carol Engstrom level-classic May 26, 2019

Wonderful shot, and perfect title and commentary. I enjoyed this! #125378

Connie L. Carpenter May 26, 2019

Funny you should post this... I was just thinking of this one the other day. I even took a trip over to an old site to see it. Great shot and one of my favorite images of yours. #125409

William C. Raco level-classic May 26, 2019

Wow, I'm flattered by all the generous comments.
This was a fun photo to title and describe.
I'm glad everyone joined in the fun.
Susana, don't worry about asking if it was edited.
If I forget to note something, I'll be glad to clarify.
It does look like some of them are laced because it is so nicely spaced.
Just my good fortune that day.
Many thanks again to you all.

regards
