She saw me, and yet she swam.
I guess school must go on.
I wonder what she told her young one about me and the puppies?
How beautifully everything is arranged by Nature; as soon as a child enters the world, it finds a mother ready to take care of it.

How cute! Wish I had some subject matter close, you lucky girl!
ReplyDeleteYou're not far from Bay Area Boulevard Park, Armand Bayou and Clear Lake... I bet you could find some great material there!!
DeleteI just love little duck families!
ReplyDeleteMe, too! Well, I love baby anythings, I think!
Deletesweet ...
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about babies, right?
Deletei LOVE this. that little one is so adorable, and the reflections you caught of the beautiful hen are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of you when I took these!!
DeleteVery sweet, Barbara. Mama duck probably told her baby that you and the dogs are good friends and kind to nature. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope that's what happened!! :)
DeleteIt is school time.
ReplyDeleteNo more blogging.
For you? Our school is just ending! I'll miss your posts!
DeleteI forget about this other blog of yours and maybe it's even more active than the Long Hollow one. Just based on my little bit of reading and more documentary watching - the babies learn by imitation but it's odd that human parents seem to forget that.
ReplyDeleteIt is odd, I agree. Human parents depend on telling more than showing, don't they?
DeleteBarbara,
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you were able to capture these moments! good job!

Just really, really lucky, that she didn't fly or hide, and that I had my zoom lens with me!!
DeleteHow cool she didn't swim away. She has one gosling left ... thank goodness ...
ReplyDeleteWe went back two days later and I didn't see her. I'm staying hopeful that they were just sleeping somewhere or the baby was old enough to fly.
DeleteWhat a sweet mother and child pair. I think that she told her little one "People and their cameras just quack me up." ;)
ReplyDeleteWell, that quacked me up just imagining it! lol
