Man Proposes Duck Disposes

A  L  O  H  A !
Lots of people and businesses
here in Marin county
put out water dishes for 
the many dogs walking
about with their people.  
That was our intention,
but this mallard couple 
has decided that our 
front lawn is their spa.
Who are we to complain?
They were here first. And
we enjoy their antics.

    Oh Cloudia - how lovely! I guess a little water to swim in is good, if there's not more than that. :) They know a kind family when they see one.

    Hello, Cloudia. These are awesome shots. Lucky ducky! I think they need a bigger water bowl.
    Happy Wednesday, enjoy your day!

    The duck goes ducky
    it is plain to see
    and any kind of water
    is game for that matter
