This 'family' walked right in front of me at the Zoo the other day. Mom didn't seem bothered with me getting a bit closer but sure kept her eye on me. Enjoy and as always, thanks for stopping in, I appreciate all of you. Anita

What a nice little family. I guess those zoo animals are just so used to people that they are very trusting.

What a wonderful shot! Love this family! I've never seen a mother duck with those markings very unusual. The babies are a bit cuter. Great composition!

Absolutely lovely Anita, Instead of taking the kids to a nursery, could Mom be taking them to a ' quackery ' I'll keep this one Anita. Fantastic detail, one to show my grandkids.
Thanks.

I would appear that it has been a very good week at zoos everywhere. Talk about perfect timing. Although they are cute that's just a ruse, the quack pack is lining up to attack you:) This is too cute for words. Kudos, Anita.

It looks like mummy has gone out of her own breed here. They take after daddy i think....hey maybe she has made a new kinda duck???? They are certainly very cute, how could anyone shoot these beautys. I must appologies for my out burst there, i have just been watching Autumn watch on the TV and have seen all the birds returning and retreating to warmer climes. I think mummy is rather proud of her kiddies here. great shot.
