Description
We gotta stick together while mom's away.
Captured 5/8/11, at the Fullerton Arboretum, situated on the beautiful campus of California State University Fullerton in beautiful Fullerton, California.
Worth a ZOOM.
So, these little guys thought they could hide from the predatory lens of my camera, eh? No way!
Actually, I found them there in this position after the mother had packed them away, feeling her small brood would be safely ensconced between the boulders while she went for a solitary swim in one of the lakes. They must be used to these conditions because they exhibited no sign of distress while I hovered over them like the big bad wolf.
Sayonara, thankx for popping in, and for any and all favs and laudatory comments.

What a wonderful collage Harry, they are so adorable
Oh bless where mum used to live we had a family of ducks every year at the door my mum used to feed them and they always came back superb capture !!
so cute this three fluffy duck babys :)
How sweet are these three? Just an adorable upload, Harry.
They are cuties
Aww, cuteness abounding in these shots, Harry! They must be used to people, given their reaction to you, which may not be a good thing for their survival...
They should keep nice and warm - just like us, surrounded by duck downs ... after all - three is not a crowd! BB
Lovely captures of these beautiful soft little ducklings and it was great they didn't run away from you.
They look pretty comfortable with you standing over them. Great photo and collage Harry. Don't ever try this with swans. Dana
very cute shot ! may not be enough contrast ... too light?
Cute. Heed Danas warning!
Adorable :), nice shots!
Two lovely shots. Young animals are always nice to see.
Really wonderful pictures of these sweet looking birds! Amazed they just didn't run to shelter, must still trust people.. Well done Harry, good collage! Rob
Very sweet...
Maybe they thought you were their dad??? ;-) Very neat capture on your part.
Aww very cute Harry! I love watching these little guys waddle around and snapping up bread tossed out to them.
Very cute! Wonderful capture of the markings on their heads. Excellent detail and textures. They look so soft and touchable (not a good idea, I know). I like the lighter colored little guy. Beautiful shots!
