YAY! I was flabbergasted that I managed to have ONE picture that didn’t turn out blurry (have about 10, not good at all) because they all took off so fast – about 25-30 of them – and I hurried to try to focus and snap. Lordy…
You are so gracious. It IS rather nice to be pursued 😊 I was “busy” watching TV…🙄
It’s like . . how do you DO that? I take a snapshot of a duck and it comes out blurry, and most likely looking like a chicken. Or a rock. If, I am really lucky, that is. Whereas you get the pair . . . At takeoff, like . . no problemo.
It’s like… Shoot and pray! My presence disturbed the ducks – the head of the raft of maybe 30, quacked a warning, they split into two skeins and one after another took off. I hurried to focus to get the 2nd skein coz the first one was bust… I couldn’t even see what I got till I got home.
A couple in love … well done, for Valentine Week.

A coinkidink? I think not 😉 And all the ducks were in a hurry to leave the paparazzo and I was amazed I got anything that wasn’t blurry!

Don’t apologize for being late. You’re a busy girl, and it’s nice to be pursued on occasion. Lovely photo. Mother Nature I’m sure is pleased. 🙂
