Thank you for the beautiful duck pictures. Mom loves all kinds of feathered creatures...but of course not as much as me Madi!! MOL
There is a duck decoy show downeast (coastal NC) every fall. She is always in awe of the beautiful life like carvings and colors. Needless to say 99% of the carved ducks are bought for home decor.

Madi and I thank you and Sandra for hosting the Silly Photo Challenge yesterday. We met lots of new friends. Purrs to Miss Cindi Lou

I do believe the wood duck is one of my favorites for coloring, the iridescence! although I love them all. What is it that fascinates us so with wild life, that makes us stop to look and listen, to photograph...? Great photos. :)

Mallards are common here but the other 2 are delightful in color! Thanks for the link up!

Just love the colors on the back end of the first duck!!

Kelly said...

Unlike other animals, ducks are pretty good at allowing you to get the good shots, no pun intended.

Ginny said...

Wow!!LOVE that header! The ducks are outrageously beautiful! The wood duck has a red eye and an un-ducklike bill, it's curved and sharp! I didn't know there were ducks with bills like that.

Self Sagacity said...

Gorgeous duck pictures. Do you know whey they are called Wood Ducks? They are so colorful and beautiful!

Krista said...

These are really beautiful. I love the colouring of the Wood Duck. I don't think I've ever seen one of those before but I would love to!

The Words Crafter said...

Oh, they're so pretty! You really get some great shots!

My sister had wood ducks on her pond in Cayuga every summer. I think they are the MOST BEAUTIFUL of all the ducks out there! You sure did get a fabulous picture. Rosemary

Most of those look good enough to eat, what do you think Cindi Lou?

wendy said...

What amazingly beautiful ducks.
Duck Duck ...Goose.

Lindy MacDuff said...

What gorgeous ducks, and I love your header photo!

Madi and Mom said...

Miss Cindi Lou..I made mom write 100 times 'a kitty's bowl should never be empty'. I'm confident she will do better in the future...if not, I'm coming to live with you. It sounds like your mom has her priorities in order.

Amazing pictures. Beautiful creatures.

Madame DeFarge said...

I love your photos of ducks. I always think of you when I see the ducks in our local park and then I promptly forget to take my own pictures of them.

The Retired One said...

Another fabulous photo of your wood duck....I am so smitten by them and have never seen one in person..do you live by a pond or where are you getting these wonderful shots of ducks all the time?

Pat said...

Just ducky! Enjoyed the different kinds of ducks. I love the blue billed one.

Diane AZ said...

Oh wow, your duck pictures are amazing. I love the spots on the blue-billed duck. :)
