Yesterday and today boasted idyllic weather. Out for my morning run, I witnessed nature’s finest on display– chirping cardinals, scampering squirrels, flowers in full-bloom… someday I’m really going to have to drag my camera along when I run!
All too soon, the temperatures’ll rise to the stifling 100+ category. But I’m not going to dwell on this gloomy prospect; instead, I’m taking full advantage of the gorgeous weather while it lasts. Spring is truly here, and it’s brought with it new life. For the past few weeks, we’ve watched a mamma duck sit dilligently on her nest, waiting for her eggs to hatch. Well, they’ve finally hatched!
So here they are– our new neighbors!
Hopefully the resident ducks gave them a warm welcome.
The resident ducks are five ducks that have lived in our neighborhood pond for the past few years. We’ve dubbed their leader as “Moe”. Look at his picture (below) and see if you can guess why!
I loved your duck pictures! I had a minor obsession with ducks in grade school (I have an IM screen name and duck-decorated bathroom to show for it!). Clever name for Moe:)
Adorable! They make me laugh.
On another note, I came across this: http://www.business-opportunities.biz/projects/how-much-is-your-blog-worth/submit/
I entered the blog url for each blog I read, which admittedly are limited. They ranged in worth from $0.00 to a whopping $47,421.36. Guess whose the latter was? Yours! : )

chocolate cake sounds like the *perfect* spy mission fuel.. I’ll bring my grill along so we can have some fresh, hot sandwiches along the way, and of course I’ll pack us some pancakes too. But, umm, at this rate we may not fit through the UPS office door after consuming all of our spy fuel… Better ask Momma Duck there if we can borrow her kids to fit into the tight little places on our mission 🙂 I’m sure they’d help out if you offer them cake!!!
How cute! I do morning walks (about an hour) and I always forget to bring my camera for things like this.
Cute overload!!! They’re ADORABLE! Moe looks so awesome.
Oh. My. Gosh. There’s nothing much cuter than a family of ducks, especially when the babies are trying to hop over something! If I saw them I’d follow them around with my camera too.
I love baby animals! Those duckies are sooooo cute! And Moe totally has a mohawk!
Hi! I’ve been reading your blog for a awhile(got the url from a post you made on Global Vegan Network on Facebook) and I finally got around to getting a blog! I just wanted to leave a comment to introduce myself and say “Hi!” The baby ducks are adorable, they remind me of pictures I took today of the baby geese on my campus!
ACK! ADORABLE!!!!!!!
OMG that is too too cute! I love baby duckies! We have some in a waterway about halfway between my apartment and campus, and I like to stop and watch them if they’re in there when I walk home. The babies have two speeds: “Help, Ma! The current is too strong” and “VROOOOOM!”
