Just imagine what their kids would look like!!!

Great shots Frits and Dave! Maybe one of these days I'll get up early enough to make it to the duckpond....nah, who am I kidding? I'll leave that to the rest of you all!:wink:

 

[cajun angel]

Fritz,

I like to think of myself as a (modern) Southern Belle...and I'm not offended. I just let it run off like water on a duck's back....:biggrin:

I think of you as a Southern Belle also Leigh, if ever I saw one...but I fail to see what the connection is with the duck caption...

Thanks Sommer.
You know - sure, these ducks are generally regarded as ugly. But ugly here probably is more like "different from a perceived standard". I would argue that these are more photogenic then many a mallard (portrait wise). I thought they were cute.
Had a bit of an attitude also :smile: , more like a goose. I wouldn't get too close to these...
