The Husband and I walked to Starbucks the other day. My camera sat, neglected, on a chair beside the door and we both looked down at it as we slipped into our shoes.
“Do you want to bring your camera?” he asked.
I sighed. “No,” I said, “I don’t. I just don’t want to touch it today.”
“But what about your photo project?”
To which I cursed vehemently and declared, “I quit that stupid project! I just don’t want to take a picture every. single. day.”
And then I stormed out of the house never to be heard from again.
No, not really.
We left, sans camera, and began the walk down the long driveway that led out of our apartments.
Of course, as soon as we stepped outside the gate, The Husband froze.
“Honey, look.”
A family of ducks. Just walking waddling down the drive. And underneath the gate.
I think they were looking for the pool.
I love baby ducks. Well, I love anything mini. Especially those little mini bottles of booze. So cute!
In case you were wondering, I did sprint back to the apartment for my camera. Cursing the whole way. And I got a cramp, thank you very much.

Well of course you went and got the camera, they’re stikin’ adorable! You know if you had brought your camera from the get go they probably wouldn’t have been there. Murphy’s Law.
Look at all of those little babies! Absolutely adorable. Aren’t you glad you went and picked up your camera? Where did they finally go?
Sooo cute! they are so little! Up here in Mass we have tons of Canadian geese. Adorable!

Oh my, They are really cute! I am glad you got a cramp to get that photo.
Love. These. Ducks! I absolutely love baby ducks. They’re so cute and fuzzy.
We appreciate the effort, especially the Buddha who just pointed and said, “DUCK!” It’s one of the three words she knows.
Does that make it worth it?
Michelle, I know. I thought about that. Stupid law.
DVM’s Wife, I’m not sure. They rounded a corner and I lost them in some bushes. I’m sure they found the pool. They weren’t far from it.
Alias Mother, that’s about as cute as the baby ducks themselves. Totally worth it.
Awww…. they are super cute. You captured them perfectly . Have a nice weekend!
They are so cute! Good for you for sprinting and getting back in time to not miss the shots!
These are incredible shots of an incredible sight. I love your angles and colors/tints. I also love that the background is concrete and cinderblock. It’s great contrast to the natural wildlife and the sweetness of the baby ducks. It makes the fact that they just walking around look so dramatic.
You are so talented.
I love wordpress!
I feel like I had to go back and read a lot of posts, so behind. Love these pics of the baby ducklings.
So this post counts for 7 days of your project 365, right?
I like how you shoot at angles.
