While visiting this local lake I spotted this little family enjoying the sun,and some rest.

I hope this is not too dark, I looked at another lighter version,and decided on this one, I did give it some highlighting.

Thank you for commenting, and I hope to be able to get more pics. of this little family in the future.

Tigs♥ =^..^=

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Wonderful spring shot Sandi - usually they are all scattered - you were lucky to catch them bunched.

I already wrote one critique on this, but my computer decided that a brief Windows error would spoil my mood. The gods are angry apparently because I was so gleeful as I wrote the original critique. They thought, "The world is out of balance. We must send a smiteful and spiteful message to Roger."

Anyway, I had originally written that I had seen this shot on Facebook and had downloaded it to post as my own on another site because your Facebook images oftentimes are larger than the Caedes shots.

I also commented that I was giggling like a school girl and that tears of joy were rolling down my cheeks which apparently nearly shorted out my keyboard which is probably why Windows tossed me out. I now have my keyboard covered with Saran Wrap; so that I can finish my "critique".

You Rogered up the post photo work as I can see a thin white line along the duck's breast and under her neck and along the bill.

Gleefully yours,

Roger

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
