Description
A typical parent. I love to anthropomorphize creatures other than humans.
Captured way back on 4/10/06, at the beautiful Fullerton Arboretum in beautiful Fullerton, California.
Shot originally at a small 640 x 480 resolution, so this did require some postwork to bring it up to size and better definition.
Toodles.

Lovable !
hehe, but almost human, or better... superb capture!
Very nice work on this adorable capture, Harry.
Wonderful pic, Harry!
wonderful reflexion ! quiet moment and sweet birds !!!
I love the ducky families; and I anthropomorphize too, it's hard not to when the behaviours seem the same across the species. Wonderful capture of this busy mum with all her little chicks; looks like swimming lessons are on today!
Sweet :)
cool title, shot and postwork
Adorable capture and perfect title.
A lovely shot and funny title. Must be a hard job for mother duck to keep them all together.
Marvelous shot !!!
really lovely family
delightfully cute! And very likely what mom ducks saying lol Super post Harry, well shot.. Rob
Such a cute shot, nicely captured. Mum clearly has to keep a sharp eye on that lot.
Kudos on the work you've done with those old 640 x 480 photos---you've done a fine job. And kudos on capturing the mother squawking at her young ones, as they meander all around, as young ones do. A delightful shot, fun and also funny, as the little ones go snooping around---but not too far from their mother: They really look like they're staying close. I also like the "cut" in the photo---ie, the way the landline cuts a perfect diagonal across the frame, with the water atop. In a shot like this, that kind of balance brings it all into sweet balance and contrast. This really belongs with your recently-posted people candids, because it captures a moment of a family that everyone can relate to. And I wonder if the duck-mom can tell her kids apart...A delightful candid, Harry; ducks or humans, you have the eye...
