I Like to Shoot Ducks

I like to shoot ducks because they don't shoot back. These were taken at our local city zoo, the Como park zoo, on a cloudy morning. The ducks in the pond are very tame. The water lillies are blooming too.

I am not exactly sure how to make this a 50 word post. I always struggle with that. We all know that brevity is the soul of wit and that one picture is worth a thousand words. OK, done, that must be 50 words.

Nice pics! I saw little ducks like these in front of a downtown Orlando hotel. No water in sight! Maybe they had a room.

Your ducks are wonderful. They make me smile, okay is that enough words for points? I really do love your ducks.

Teresa, I'm glad to see you use a camera to shoot your duck rather than the more lethal weapons of choice. Steve

Steve - No lethal weapons, g rated all the way.

Miriam - I respect your need to use few words. If you want to leave comments on my photo posts for points just paste in the word photo ten times or somthing.

Hotel ducks are no as special as Minnesota ducks. LOL

I only shoot things with my camera also. Those are great shots.

Whenever I see you on my blog roll I get all excited....NEW PHOTOS! These are beautiful as always. I love ducks anyway but these are so cute. The quality of your work is truly excellent!

Cute photos we have several ducks and two pair of Swans near by I always enjoy watching them.

I live near a forest preserve and the Mallards come to feed at the end of our driveway. . .I love them and they love stale hot dog buns!

Lovely photos. . .

I've flagged this post and reported it to the local chapter of the S.P.C.A.

I didn't see ducklings at my favorite "watering spot" this year. Plenty of Mallards and Buffleheads, but no babies. I did get to shoot some adorable goslings. But with my point and shoot I can only get so close without one of the "parents" trying to turn me into foie gras. They are pretty protective. Beautiful pictures!

They are so sweet, and as usual you photo'd them very well. The lily pads though omg they are huge, they are real???

I'm glad you meant photo "shoot" ducks. Was concerned Theresa was going goofy on us!

All the best,

Teresa, You did a wonderful job taking these photos, they are really great. Thanks for sharing.

Teresa,

Just took another look. Any one of these photos would make a nice calendar. In fact if you did another 7,you could do a whole year for just ducks. There must be a market somewhere.
