Another picture from my Mallard folder. I was taking pictures of these guys milling about in pond when all of a sudden these guys decided to move and swam right by me...

Another of your prize winning Mallard shots. They are super pictures you have, all of them. Good work.

Gerry, your duck photos have a quality all of their own - another beautiful shot. You should make a collection and turn them into greetings cards.

You know you're a nice guy when the ducks trust you. You have treated them kindly and saved them forever. Another great photo Gerry.

Nicely done, my friend. I like the colors you've captured in this one as well as the subjects.

Very nice. I love how the last on is in such sharp contrast with the others because of his bright plumage.

Wow Gerry...this is just totally lovely! I love the colours on Mallards, when I lived in Louisiana there were so many of them and they were always a pretty sight to watch. It's nice you are able to get such great photos of them...bravo on this! Verena

They are all mallards, but they are so different. Nice shot, Jerry. I usually scare them all away in my excitement to get one. lol

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
