Aflac?
Last Monday my wife Lucy,grandson Tyler and I met with our friend Lynda and her son Joseph and went to a very nice park in the town where we live. We always look for places where Tyler can play with other kids and do some exercise.
This is my grandson Tyler, 2 years old.
It was the first time for me at this park, I passed by the road thousands of times but I never realized that the park was larger than it look at first sight. The children went there to play at the playground I took a very short walk and found beautiful medium size pond with a water fountain spewing a jet of water high in the air. This park has nice surroundings and has been designed well, there are tennis courts, an open amphitheater and playgrounds for kids. Next time I go I will take a longer walk to see what at the other side of the pond.
I immediately noticed the ducks swimming around and other walking about. So I used my Canon D60 and SX30iS and shot some pictures. I will be posting pictures of the other ducks separately.
Although there were several kinds of ducks I will single out only one species for today. The White Pekin Duck.

Beautiful flowers all around.
Visitors are allowed to feed the ducks.

Thanks a lot MD! 🙂
Sounds like a great afternoon was had by all! Nice photos
Yes it was! We had a good time! Thank you D! 🙂
Nice duck shots, especially love the second photo! And your grandson is so cute too, HJ, you must be proud! 🙂 Nothing like watching your grandchild explore nature, and he has a great teacher (you!) to learn from and share it with.
I just wish that Tyler will grow loving nature as much I do and get to love birds also. thank you for your nice comment Donna, I sincerely appreciate it. 🙂
How sweet. Takes me back to when I was a kid and my dad and I would go to the park. We’d watch the ducks and dad would skip stones on the pond. You are giving your grandson wonderful memories to cherish.
We are doing our best to educate him to grow into a decent and loving person.
Thank you Annie for sharing! 🙂
Do they make good pets? That first picture looks exactly like the duck I had as a pet in Logan, Utah, when I was 10.
I don’t know…but I know they make good soup in China!
That is information that I did not need to know. lol
What a lovely place and wonderful photos as usual!
It’s a nice park. Thank you Julie:)
Totally adorable.
Enough about me…how was the post?
I’m sorry, just joking Daphne, thanks a lot for your comment! Oh come on smile. 🙂
That’s awesome! 😉
Sadly, another Russel Ray camping trip comes to an end………………..
