Duck Pond Pondering
Maybe because I’d never been at the Blacksburg duck pond before afternoon, I didn’t know that the ducks lay around like litter, with their heads tucked into their balled-up bodies and their eyes closed. The game Duck Duck Goose came to mind.
They looked like stepping stone rocks or shopkeepers on siesta, or at least a Shadow Shot Sunday photo-op.
I call this Getting Your Ducks in a Row, but maybe it should be Line to the Diving Board.
This one I named The Understated Fashion Statement.
Only one baby in the bunch, made me wonder where its siblings were and if its story would be a happily ever after one. And then the below happened.

I’m jealous that you were able to get so close. I saw ducks on the pond at Dunn’s Marsh this evening, but due to sunflowers and reeds could not get close enough for any good pics.

I could never be so flexible as to relax as these ducks can. But more power to them, being able to litter the banks of the pond. But as ducks are our favorite waterfowl in our home, we are happy that they are resting and playing as only ducks can!

The ducks are tucked up like little snails in a shell. Gorgeous series of photos.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen ducks at rest like that before.
