Making A Big Splash!

I watched a momma Mallard Duck with her six babies for a while at Delta Ponds this morning. To my amazement, she climbed up on a log and made a big splash in the water as she jumped from the log on the other side, leaving her babies to make their own way up and over that huge long. Each one followed and made it! They can climb better than I thought. But the momma's big splash was the catch I liked best. :)

Amazing photo, Vern. Marty said that she first saw a flower, then a fountain,then she was close enough to see the duck. Great job!
