Do you ever think your life is like a pond,
with water lillies,
and visiting friends?
Well,
if your life is not much like a pond,
why not visit a quiet one?
You just might find some peace there.
Cheers to you from the peaceful Holler pond~

WOW! Cindy, these are fantastic! I’ve never been fond of ducks, not since an entire group of them jumped me at a lake and stole my sandwich, but, you know what? After seeing these photos, I think I might give ducks a second chance. This are beautiful! 🙂

Are you sure it wasn’t geese that jumped you? They can be very aggressive. People use them as guards. Ducks are more wimpy. Swans can be super aggressive. Thanks for your comments Sahm & cheers to you~

Nope it was definitely ducks. One was called Daffy, the other Donald, and they had a whole crew called the Duck Tales…
I’m kidding, I’m kidding. I appear to be in a bit of a juvenile mood at the moment… I love ducks. Cheers to you, Cindy!

The depth of focus on the first shot is slightly unsettling. It almost looks Photoshopped until you look more closely.
The ducks are going mad over here too. And the Canada geese. Amazing how fast the goslings grow

I’m not biblically ept, but wasn’t there a passage about, “a babe shall lead us….” or something to that effect. Fears are interesting puzzles in our psyches. They are causal, but not causally linked. She’ll need to deputize her daughter as the official goose handler…..Now my son is tagging rattlesnakes. Go figure…….
