Another Duck – How Odd!


I must have a million and one photos featuring either ducks or geese or ducks and geese! They donโ€™t mind being photographed, though, which is a good thing; even if theyโ€™re doing whatever this duckโ€™s doing. Iโ€™m presuming heโ€™s sleeping, although he is emanating quite a few ripples. Maybe heโ€™s having one of those running dreams, and his legs are going ten to the dozen beneath the surface โ€“ although we can see one leg out to the side there โ€“ he could be doing duck yoga. He may be itching one of those hard to reach places. Perhaps he thinks heโ€™s an ostrich and is hiding, replacing sand with tail feathers and making himself look like the bulls eye. Or he could just be having a quick discreet preen โ€“ it isnโ€™t as though heโ€™s drawing attention to himself.

    I refuse to eat ducks, as they are such beautiful creatures – and so artistically marked. (Poor chickens…) Cheers.

      I have to admit to trying it once or twice, Joy, but that was before I knew any. Which thinking about it sounds appalling. I couldn’t eat duck now… and I agree with you one hundred percent, they are beautiful creatures.

      That’s more than likely, Becky. The ducks and geese here have a certain knowing about them…

    A good example of “just minding my own business.”
