Nap Time

I was a little late getting out on my walk today. By the time I got to where I was going, everybody was taking a pre-lunch nap, like this Mute Swan couple on Gooseneck Cove and the Mallard couple on the pond in Ballard Park. Hmmm... I didn't know I was so boring!

LOL at you being boring. Now if you were shaking a bag of bread crumbs, I bet they would have perked right up.

Beautiful photos.

Roy, I take naps BETWEEN naps... now that's boring! :-)

These pictures make me sleepy!

I really love the last one. Beautiful colors!

Any time is nap time for ducks!!

Two very nice shots, I don't think I've ever seen the mallard hen's coloring and mottling as pretty.

Great photos Roy!

yup, looks like you've bored the whole lot of them to sleep

Great photos. Now if you took a photo of me sleeping, with my mouth open and likely drooling, I wouldn't be quite so happy.

Dear Roy, As always very natural and captivating - I could stare at ducks for hours. Salud

They can tell you don't have any food a mile away.

Outstanding shots! 10 for U.

I agree with Marianne, if you had some bread crumbs they'd be on you like bees on a flower ;-) Your photos are excellent Roy!

I especially like the cygnus olor photo. The way they look somewhat cautious. It's amazing that you found two couples like this during the same walk.
