Took this shot a few days back just after dawn. These guys were huddled together I assume for warmth. They were on asphalt path around the pond at a city park with the parents close by. I seen them from a fair distance away and wandered off path in grass about 20 feet and got down on my stomach prone to ground with camera and tripod ahead of me and inched closer to them I was lucky when I got up and found no geese droppings on me because the droppings were all around..used Nikon D50 with Tamron 70-300 lens set at 260mm shutter 1/30 aperture f/8 ISO 400.

Wow...a man with a tripod on his belly...come to think of it, I guess that's not so odd when you're going after the great results you got here. Of course I saved it!!!

Hi Gerry,

Oh, my friend, this is just too precious for words! These darling little cuddlies are having a family meeting and I am sure, are discussing 'just how great life really is'! Smiling. You have captured them at the perfect time of day, in a perfect setting. The lighting is beautiful, the clarity is flawless, and your photographic skills are at their best in presenting to us this wonderful image! It is one of the best I have seen of these darling little duckies! I love the photo Gerry!

I want to thank you for your many visits to my gallery, and the nice comments left! You have been generous Gerry, and I will continue to look forward to your visits, with pleasure, Sincerely, Marilyn
