Just love those ducks, reminded me one time when I started feeding one, all of them wanted it. They got out the pond and almost chased me. Oh boy, I learned a lesson that day LOL. Thanks for sharing, Dana!

Oh no, lol, I was expecting to see an eskimo digging out some snow from around his igloo! Oh well, very nice POV, colors and contrast in this pic of the handsome waterfowl, Dana. Strong resemblance to a duck.
