Make Room for Ducklings

We had our own little storybook moment today. When I came out of my studio this afternoon I heard much peeping and quacking. After a little investigation I discovered several small ducklings on the bank bridge behind the barn who were trying to get to their mother who was in the stream below. After running from one side to the other, they each decided the only route was to take the plunge and leap to the water (at least a 10 foot drop). Luckily they were all safe and joined their mother for a swim down the stream .... a happy little brood of 12 babies and mom.

Thanks to Mother Nature, never a dull moment here in Buffalo Springs!
