May you have a wonderful day.
A Few Lilies for Your Monday

Late Season Ducklings
I spotted this large brood of ducklings – nine in all – out learning about life with their mom.
I think this is either a late brood or a second brood. Ducks will sometimes “renest” if they lose the first nest or all of their hatchlings to a predator.
This may be the case with this brood or possibly the mother duck decided to raise a second family. That can frequently happen with ducks that don’t migrate since they don’t have to expend resources on migration; ours here stay through the winter.
Happy Saturday.

…followed by a fantastic grand finale.
Happy Thursday. 🎇
