    Default Duck!

    I needed some peaceful nature therapy today, so I went out to the Banner Elk duck pond armed with an eight-pack of hamburger buns and my camera. To my delight, the ducks were caring for their new-born chicks. I caught some cute photos and thought I would share. Hope you enjoy!

    I hope the mental health day worked its wonders!

    Thanks for sharing some great shots! Baby ducklings always make me think of spring. And Bella's irresistible!
