Four of these critters have been hanging around the yard, so I got them a kiddy pool, shoved it under the Pomegranite tree/bush, then filled it with water. This first image shows one of the happy recipients having a swim. ;)

Here they are checking the Chickens out through the fence.

The Captain and crew finally got their stuff together, now if we can only remember where we left it. :cool:

Ducks kin FLY? :shock: Actually, I see them fly past me at least once a day when I'm sitting under the Pine trees having my coffee. At first it spooked me, seeing something that big flying in from the corner of my eye, but I'm getting used to them now.
There are four of them, three males, and one female. I call them Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Daisy. I'm thinking they're gonna stick around for a while, as Daisy is sitting on eggs. ;)
Here's a shot of all four of them.

Thanks Dennis. I agree, it sure doesn't look like LV, but I assure you it is right in the city. (My little secret location.) ;)

They soon cotton on for a good swim. Are they cueing up for a swim in the second shot? They look as though they are in line and waiting.
Putting names to the ducks is fascinating.
Very interesting good shots.

Actually, They're just following Daisy around. (A guy thing, I think.) ;)
