When life gives you a lemon make lemonade of it..

After one of my studio flashlights broke I discovered the nature photography. Especially on springtime it is gorgeous to go outside and take pictures. Everything is green and friendly after the sad wintertime. So I spent my time till the flashlight is fixed with taking tons of outdoor pictures of flowers, trees, stones, dirt and not to forget animals =D Is it really great to do other kind of pictures too because it gives your eye new aspects and it is helpful for me. I lost this point a little...

So here my first outdoor, wildlife picture of this adorable little duck-family. It was so funny to see that the babies formed a cycle and everyone was fighting to be at the centre, the most cosy place :aww: Luckily I have a lot of experience in being VERY quite ;-)

so cute! I've never seen a mommy duck before. Where I'm from there are no wild ducks and the domestic ones lost their maternal instincts, so hens hatch their eggs.

This summer I practically watched a duck family grow up while I was at the beach. My family has a trailer at the beach and we stay there for most of the summer. My duckies grew to recognize and trust me. Whenever I came outside they would be lined up on the dock, waiting for me. When they saw me they would quack a 'hello' and come over to where I was. They would settle into a sleeping formation around me-trusting me to keep them safe. I miss those guys and bravo for your awesome picture. I like how the mamma duck is watching you so intently!
