That's Just Ducky!

Now that all of our leaves have fallen off the trees, I will go back to "late summer" and "early fall" shots
that I haven't shared with you yet.


My brother owns a wonderful little cabin on Lake Medora
near Copper Harbor, in the U.P. of Michigan.

There are always ducks on his lake.

One day, when we stopped in for a visit, one mother duck had darling ducklings with her
and came very close to their dock.

I was thrilled to be able to get some close photos of them.




One of the ducklings:






Just LOOK at his cute face!!!:






Quacking me up!:






Mom, flapping her wings:






Swimming amongst the pretty stones in the lake:








Three of the ducklings, taking a sunbath on the rocks.  I loved how one was "peeking" down at the water, as if to say: "Wow...that is a lonnnnng way down there!":








They obviously had a LOT to talk about that day!:







May water run off your back, (like this duck's) today
and always.....

    You probably don't know that I have been in the hospital twice the past month.. Finally had hernia surgery last week. I'm home and doing better. But--I was a sick little gal...
