Lake of the Lillies

Out on one of my Heron and Egret hunts at 
Lake of the Lillies,

I happened upon a sleeping flock of domestic ducks.

Most of them never budged an inch,

opening their eyes was about all I could get them to do.

This was the only one,

who stood up...

and then immediately laid back down...
which made getting these images a breeze!

Ducks always quack me up! Lake of the Lilies. Such a beautiful name I'd have to investigate too. Are there many Water Lilies on the lake?

Well, aren't they just lazy little things! Great pics, Debbie. I'm glad they cooperated instead of running all over with you chasing. Hunter tried to get a kitten from next door this morning to take home (they said she could) but every time she got close, the dang thing would run. Maybe next time. :)

They are so pretty and white, it's funny that they didn't waddle away, usually they slowly get up and start walking away, So nice of them to cooperate with you :)
