All spring we have been waiting to see if there would be any ducklings on the lake. Yesterday they surprised us by making their first excursion. They came quite close. I think mom was wanting to show off her brood. The picture only shows 4, but there are actually 5 little ones. There are 2 other pairs that live there, so I am hoping we will be seeing more. I was so excited that I ran to get the camera and took about zillions of shots. Thank goodness for digital!
