Baby ducks

About five weeks ago I saw a mother duck and her babies down at the river. She had a full dozen baby ducks to look after. I haven't seen them again until this morning. It was amazing how much they had grown. By looking at them it was hard to tell which one was the mother - but by watching them you could tell who was in charge.

It's a beautiful morning. The roses and the peonies are blooming in everyone's yard and the air has a scent that is sometimes light and sometimes intoxicating.
