A nice surprise this morning, the male and female Mallard ducks were back when I looked out early this morning. They hung around for a while (just hope they are not nesting in my back yard), perched on the fence to groom their feathers, then flew off. Quite a treat to see them.
It was another scorcher today but we had decided to play tennis at 8:00 a.m. By the time we stopped at 10:00 it was getting quite steamy so we were glad to quit and head for somewhere cool, in my case a quick dip in the pool!
Oh ducks!! That’s sweet! - Jenn
ReplyDeleteI love how they travel in pairs.
DeleteAww, look at those ducks. So cute. Well unless they are swimming in your pool.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I think they were in but not for long.
DeleteA dip in the pool with a summer cooler. The ducks are gorgeous. Do they make a lot of ... um ... mess?
ReplyDeleteI only found a couple of deposits on the deck which I hosed off. The birds that nest in my eaves are worse.
DeleteI guess the pool attracts them. A lovely photo. xx
ReplyDeleteI've seen them earlier in the year but usually by now they have headed up north where it is cooler. I think this pair my be doing that soon, it's so hot here today.
DeleteLovely visitors & I hope that they remain as visitors & not become residents. I too was able to enjoy the cooling joys of a pool - my friend is away & I'm housing sitting :)
ReplyDeleteLucky you! There's nothing like it when we have a heat wave, is there?
