Ducks in a Row

On an otherwise ho-hum trip to Floresville, TX ("Peanut Capitol of the World", don't you know), we were treated to this family of black-bellied whistling ducks crossing the street in front of us. By the time we pulled over, they seemed to be trying to find a way to get through a fence into someone's back yard. This was my very first outing with the new Nikon 520P bridge camera, so the photos are nothing to brag about, but I was so glad I decided to take it along at the last minute. Just a really cute family and parents who didn't "duck" their responsibility. There were at least 12 ducklings.

Hmmm. Can't get through here.

Cute. I don't always take me own advice; but it is great to always have a camera along just in case.
