Treated by a Quack!
Being at the park with Lucy and Tyler was great because it gave me the opportunity to shoot some pictures by the pond while they went to the playground.
There’s a variety of ducks and geese that love to share this large pond. Among these are the Crested Duck which I found one hanging out with Pekin Ducks. I had to shoot some pictures again because they amuse me so much.
The previous time I was at that pond months ago, I saw a group of these ducks and unfortunately in this occasion I found only one.
Tyler had brought some pieces of bread to feed the ducks. He imitates them at their calls and his quacks sound just like one more duck! That is by itself a treat for me. Hey… It’s like I was treated by a quack!
