Very pleasing view of this family enjoying the best of what nature has to offer. And giving us a really good view of them in their element. Lovely capture Debra.

Nice shot of the little family Debra. Perfect lighting and nice details on the birds and the reeds. Love those moments in the day to day life of the pond. Well done.

Thank you Yves, yes life on these ponds is amazing. I was thrilled to be a small part of it.

Description
I am not sure what kind of ducks these are. Could be mallards, mottled, northern shovelers or even teals all were living in this pond. This family/group were swimming as close to the marsh grass as possible catching insects and bobbing for food.
