    now isnt this just the sweetest !! Is she preening her feathers or going to sleep on the job !!
  • David de Groot said:
    Preening :) I had to get her like that because with her head up she'd not have fit in the frame with the reflection as well.

    this is such a fantastic capture...I'm a sucker for cute little balls of fluff so I'm going to have to fave it :)

    Ah well you're in luck, I have some more cute little balls of feathers to post soon :)

    Ooooo David, what a huge cuteness factor in this one!! A beautiful shot, I'm very jealous, love that reflection and of course the cuuuuuuute ducklings! :-)
  • David de Groot said:
    Thanks Tracey :) I've got some more coming, I just didn't want to flood the stream with ducklings too early ;-)
    In the meantime, there's another duck family over here.

    This is a beautiful composition. So peaceful, and the subject material is pretty special too! I have raised Rouens and the ducklings are irresistible.

    Thanks :) Of course it was even cuter still about a minute earlier when the ducklings were all climbing in under her. They came out several minutes later, posed a bit, and then swam across the pond.
