Itty-bitty Babies - a photo on Flickriver

Itty-bitty Babies

            Mallard ducklings following their mother.

What was good was, I was sitting in this spot more less hidden, then they came along, when the mother saw me, she laid down flat and signaled to them to be still. (Somehow) I just let it happen for about a minute, then I took a picture, the another a little bit later.

In about 2 minutes the mother knew I wasn't a threat and they just continued doing duck stuff.

This is one of those times you're really glad that you're a photographer, you get to see 'stuff'.

I just lubs baby ducks!
