Sunday Selections #97

Welcome back to Sunday Selections!

This once-a- week-meme was originally begun by Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, as a way to showcase some of the many photos we all take, but don't get around to showing on our blogs.

The rules are very simple:-

1. post photos of your choice, old or new, under the Sunday Selections title

2. link back to me, River, somewhere in your post

3. leave me a comment so that I know you've joined in and can come over and see what you've posted.

I usually go with a theme for my Sunday Selections and this week I'm featuring DUCKS. 

These ducks are in our Botanic Gardens. 

I'm not sure what type of ducks these are, like people, there are many different varieties, but the ducks in the Botanic Gardens are very used to people wandering around.

These two are in the pond just beside the kiosk where you can buy bags of bread to feed the ducks with. 

No bread today? Well, goodbye then.

This fine fellow was happy to pose for me.

He seemed quite disappointed when I was moving on and followed for a few metres.
Perhaps he was hoping I had some bread.

These three babies were happy to huddle together in the sunshine,

while their brother (sister?) remained in the water, swimming around the reeds and ducking under repeatedly to see what was going on under there.

Mama duck appears to be napping, but she was keeping an eye on me and when I got too close she stood up and warned me off.


I began loading the first image, expecting the warning about having to buy extra storage from Picasa, and I was prepared to do that, but that didn't happen, the photos loaded just fine and super quickly.
So it looks as if Sunday Selections will continue for a while longer.
