Saturday Critters ~ 58 ~

They swarmed the car...
beep, beep...no one moved...
I couldn't open the door, I couldn't get out...
I guess they thought I came with food.
I have read on-line that it is o.k. to feed them bread and lettuce.
But there were signs,
"Do not feed the Water Fowl"
you all know that I follow the rules...
* smile *

I had to take all the pictures from inside the car, but it worked,
and I didn't get cold!











 Bye bye, so long, farewell, thanks for nothing!!

Sharing images of these very pretty Mallards with 
for Saturday Critters stop by and consider joining in,
any ole' critter will do!

Very good photos of the ducks. I've taken many pictures of animals from my car too. I especially like that first closeup of the duck's face.

It's hard to beat the colourful Mallard.

You got some great photos Debbie, what fun! The fourth one down made me laugh out loud. They are so darned cute!

Stephanie said...

Wowzers, gorgeous photos, Debbie! Their color is so vibrant and pretty up close. They are so cute I just want to "cuddle" one. Happy weekend!

Latane Barton said...

well, isn't that a handsome fellow? I love the iridescent colors.

Ruth Hiebert said...

Amazing pictures. Those bright orange feet look comical.

Muffie said...

Odd, isn't it, that the male of so many species is so beautiful, and the female so drab. So unlike homo sapiens, wink, wink!! BTW, I heard that bread is the worst thing to feed ducks and geese -- they can't digest it and their intestines get mucked up. Beautiful photos, as always!!

Awesome photos! I love the green heads. The colour is so pretty. I like the close up of the feet.

Brian King said...

Great portraits! The one guy's bill looks a tad short for some reason.

21 Wits said...

I am a ducky fan too! Also, I know that feeling about following the rules, which many don't, as I watched the girl descend the stairway yesterday that was blocked off with yellow tape. DO NOT ENTER! I was so ready to follow, but i didn't. I'll come back another day and come in the back side of the park, because Trumpeter Swans are so beautiful!

Laura. M said...

Kisses.

Bethany Carson said...
