Mama Duck and Babies!

If you recall the "Spring Breakers" post from early April you know this is the season for baby ducks...and they're finally here! (Forgive the photo quality as I wanted to keep my distance, plus she was cruzin'.)

Mama Duck lead her 6 babies thru the backyard at 7:50 this morning with a quick stop for a bath in our pond. She took great care to keep them camouflaged before their exit out the back gate--which we cracked open for them. What a great way to start the weekend.
