Rakiraki is the Maori word for duck. This Mallard was happy to leave its pond and waddle up to me to pose nicely for its portrait :)

Of course Terri - look closely and you will see the grain falling from the end of the beak - 'twas quite a greedy quacker. :)

It is indeed a beautiful little creature. Don't think I have seen one wuite colored like this one. Nice capture. I love the expression most ducks have on their faces, one of peace and tranquility. Our Creator must have placed it there.

Such a pretty duck. I'm glad he came close so you could show him to us.
Another clear shot.

Very pretty little duck. It has beautiful colors. We have a couple that used to always show up at our house looking for handouts. My wife likes to feed them bread and crackers but they're not colored like this. Very nice capture Eve!..=)

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I say what I say because that is my honest opinion. I don't kiss ass because I find that gross and repulsive.

comes pose!
Shining.

If you love something, set it free. It it comes back to you, it is yours. If it does not, it was never meant to be. Wil

This little cuttie had every right to waddle up and demand a photo. With colors like those you would too! LOL! Cute shot.
