Or, maybe just a pair of ducks.
The mallards are either nesting, or searching for places to settle in and start their little families.
I love seeing them shining in the early morning sunlight. The iridescent feathers look almost like polished metal, they're so brilliant.
These two were snoozing on the shoreline just at dawn as Piper and I walked by.
Mother Mallard is doing her morning yoga, or ballet exercises. She has excellent balance and perfect form. Such grace and poise!!

Aw, we just love Mallards ! We call them "Orange Feets". After a work day, my hubs will tell me, "You should have seen the Orange Feets standing on the logs at the swamp !" It took me a long time to groom him up into being a duck noticer, now I get to enjoy the stories. Heh. How little it takes to amuse me.
Thanks for the peaceful pics, am really glad you're back, many hugs to ya, from BetsyLee
Orange Feets! I like that. I, too, am easily amused and I love watching the ducky antics. They've been paddling in puddles along the road and out in the fields, as well as along the shoreline.
Hugs right back to you!
