Camera Critters Sunday - Puddle Ducks!
The recent heavy rains & resulting puddles provided more than interesting reflections for me [Sky Watch Friday below], as walking through my Park, came across this group of Mallards...There were more ducks, a puddling in the mud, only they took fright & quickly waddled off.
Oh, for a proper ZOOM lens!

Haha, CC seems to be mostly of the feathered variety today! Cute ducks, they're so funny :D We have some who take a daily walk up to the local baker and waddle into the shop!
"What is PINK? a rose is pink, By a fountain's brink. What is RED? a poppy's red, In its barley bed. " What is BLUE? the sky is blue, Where the clouds float thro'. What is WHITE? a swan is white, Sailing in the light. What is YELLOW? pears are yellow, Rich and ripe and mellow. What is GREEN? the grass is green, With small flowers between. What is VIOLET? clouds are violet, In the summer twilight. What is ORANGE? Why, an orange, Just an Orange!"
The True Colours Thursday POEM CHALLENGE can be found HERE! Opps - the link was broken but is now fixed!
The first & very appropriate track 'True Colors' was suggested by friend Jeannie!
The rest goes with the flow of colours!
REMEMBER, you can turn the sound off!

Golden Daffodils!
Daffodils -extract "I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze." William Wordsworth [1770 - 1850]
Lavender Blue!
"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavenders green When you are King dilly dilly, I shall be Queen. Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so" 17th century English folk song
Pretty in PINK!
Reflections "Looking through the glass Reflections of the past What do I dare to see Staring back at me. Reflections bounce off window panes Images of what was gained Reflections of the past Memories broken and lost Reflections of the present Haunting memories not so distant Reflections through the tears Through the looking glass all the fears From the shadow and from the light All these reflections sudddenly take flight." Lorie Robertson
The flowers name, now known thanks to Maggie & Mitch - Hoya carnosa [Wax-plant].

Our domestic ducks always behaved as
if they were totally unused to people - odd. They were nice to have around compared to chickens.

Adorable!
Ducks are so amusing, they waddle around ignoring you or wandering away but if you have bread you are their lifelong friends.
Nice shot. :-)
Our duckies are wishing they could be so lucky! They're walking on ice crusted snow!
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
They are cute little fellas. Everything is so green. Makes me think of spring.
