I assume if I do not post the occasional duck photos, there could be trouble. So here you go. Since Maddie and Mabel run from me whenever I have a camera, this is the best group shot I can get:
Ducks are messy. Happiness to ducks is any and all mud. Some ducks can’t hide it as well as others:
The cutest part of this is she runs up to me like this, wanting to be picked up. She has to be satisfied with scritches.

It’s always the dog that just rolled in deer droppings who wants to love you the most.

TaMara, I love that your duck wants to be picked up and cuddled.
I can’t imagine that Duck Blogging won’t land in the Featuring section of the new site in the near future, so please keep an eye out for a duck-related photo that could work well in a landscape / banner shape.

She looks so soft and floofy. I would cuddle her even with the mud.

Pearl is the Thurston of Fiona’s.
What’s cooking for dinner TaMara?
TaMara (HFG)
@Josie: She is soft and floofy. It’s like picking up a very warm feather pillow (gasp! I did not just say that!)
Leto
You are most wise ?
Aleta
@TaMara (HFG): I guess ducks invented feather pillows and passed the idea on to humans. They should get credit and thanks. Maybe a bedside plaque.
Aleta
@WaterGirl: Thanking you in advance for that! ?❤️

Pearl is pure duck magic! I just love her sweet little face.

One of my favourite passages of Lord Peter Wimsey-Harriet Vane dialogue (from Gaudy Night, by Dorothy L. Sayers):
“Massive continuity of ducks.”

@SiubhanDuinne: I, too, immediately jumped to this image in my mind’s eye.

I couldn’t have ducks in my neighborhood on account of all the damn coyotes.

@SiubhanDuinne: I haven’t read Sayers in at least fifty years but now I have an itch to scratch. Keeping up with Balloon Juice is hard work!
Fine ducks, Tamara!

@cain: Send some to Chicago. We have rabbits everywhere.
