Things have been hectic and I haven't taken time to sit down and prepare pictures for the blog. I have been taking them, though, and finally got a few ready to post. Stories and pictures will probably be out of sequence, at least some of the time, for a while.
I loved the mother merganser giving her little ducklings a ride. They were concerned when Piper and I wandered out to the boat launch to see who might be around.
Piper also likes to get a drink and take a little swim when we walk that way, so I guess mother merganser had reason to move the youngsters away from us.
They're awfully cute floating fluff balls, aren't they? They have grown nearly as big as their parents now, but still hang out and go fishing together.
They got far enough away that they started paddling around on their own again.
Then, mom gave them a lesson in how to go fishing for breakfast.
My brother continues to improve and I was able to come back home two days before the local art show to get a few prints into frames and mats and ready to display.
Now, I need to start catching up on things like cutting and preparing Tan-Z and Firm Kut and doing an ink order for Stampeaz. Not to mention, culling through more pictures to find good ones for the blog. :)

Green I am with envy ! Baby merganzers: so cool. And I love the mom's 'hairdo' - reminds me of my own. ;^)
Glad your brother continues to mend, and that you made it to your art show. Hang in there !
Hugs to you from BetsyLee
What beautiful, interesting, unique birds! I am amazed by the variety of ducks -- so many totally different colors and shapes. Thank you for sharing this precious mother and fluff moment, so sweet!
