Having recently discovered a beaver dam in the creek near my home, I took a chance early one morning to photograph it in the morning air, hopefully misty morning air. Although the night had not been cold enough to create the mood, I hiked there anyway.

I was surprised and delighted to find who beat me there.

This mallard was not alone. How many do you see?

They nibbled a while then drifted downstream past me. A couple hung around and ‘quacked’ me up with their antics.

Just water off a ducks back. 😉
