Very cutie! I remember feeding the ducks when I was a little boy with my grandparents; this image has bought back memories. Thank you! Great capture!

Thank you all! There's something irresistible about these little fellows - I took some shots of all 12 of them on the water, but they're not as clear as this one :-(

Pretty mom, cute babies, a little duck doo-doo on the walk...a charming portrait, Si. I like it.

Wonderful photo. I like the relaxed side of the image and its gentleness. It's also very natural, with the mother duck looking ahead as if looking out for danger and being protective as well as the droppings on the pavement.

awww... what a great shot of this cute little family! the ducklings are just adorable :) and their mommy looks so protective, but at the same time, proud on her little fellows.. :)

the details had caught my eye :) again.. every single feather is visible on this one.. and the blue one amazes me, it makes a great contrast with the other feathers.. rebellious one, heheh :) and the greenness in the background is a full guess, too.. right place, right time.. ;o)

favourites.. i can't resist those little ducklings :o)

off i go.. i have to have some sleep.. happy easter once again.. :)
