When we visited Forge Pond last week there were 2 Mallard Ducks,
one male and one female keeping the Swans company.
They were very friendly, I'm sure they were looking for food...
and the male in particular was very photogenic.
The male ducks coloring was beautiful, more purple than green and I could not have been happier.
I find myself happiest, outdoors, among nature...
camera in hand!!
Ducks quack me up
ReplyDeleteDebby these are wonderful shots of the pair of Mallards. I always thought that the male had a green head feathers!
ReplyDeleteSuper pictures Debbie!
ReplyDeletethey're beautiful. love the water ripples.
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Debbie. Gorgeous captures of the Mallards. The male is a beauty with his shiny purple head. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteMale ducks are always so stunning! These colors are unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, Debbie! I love the water ripples too but the ducks are very photogenic!
ReplyDeleteLove your ducky photos! The male Mallard stands out with its striking colour.
ReplyDelete"I could not have been happier. I find myself happiest, outdoors, among nature" I could not have said it better Debbie, agree totally and what splendid photos of the ducks. I do love ducks! :) Sweet and comical at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI knew you'd love the purple, so do I. LOL
ReplyDeleteI love being outside, but haven't been able to lately. Why? Instead if grasshoppers, we now have caterpillars to contend with. Makes me sad, but trying to find out what to do with them. :)
As always, I love your pics, Debbie - you're a fantastic photographer which I've probably said more than once, or a hundred times, but it is so TRUE!
xoxo
They are beautiful, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteI love those wonderfully iridescent heads.
I've seen lots of ducks returning, but none have visited our pond yet.
Maybe soon.
I was thinking the same thing - more purple than green! I've never seen that before. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots as always! I love the pictures of these ducks. I find it so interesting the male ducks have the more beautiful colors. Blessings for you and keep that camera near always~
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos! Love seeing the mallards. They remind me of my childhood growing up by a lake in New England. There were always lots of mallards. Hope you have a sweet and lovely week. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteSuper shots Debbie.
ReplyDeleteThe colourings are just brilliant aren't they.
All the best Jan

Beautiful photos Debbie! Those ducks are darling!
ReplyDeleteAnd some people think females are vain! Mr. Duck here looks to be showing off quite nicely. Loving the purple tones.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful purple on that handsome guy. He definitely belongs right here on your blog! (Mama can come along too, they make a sweet pair!)
ReplyDeleteWow I don't know if I have seen one with purple, they have all been green in this area, I always enjoy seeing the male and female swimming around together!
