They were really really late this year. But now they've arrived and I am armed with a professional camera and telephoto lens. There's no escaping this cuteness.

All these shots were taken from my back patio. There are actually 2 separate families of ducks that (currently) live around the creek close to my house.

Totally looking at me. (And posing for his picture.)

Go ahead, say it with me. You know you want to. Awwwwwww.....
