Recently, I went out to the little pond I see wood ducks in season but it was frozen over and snow covered. As I took many photos of them last summer here’s one of a young duck to chase away the winter blues.
Frozen ponds….😵💫. Ellen is having the ‘trip north’ comments thing again. She has forgotten where and what she came from…and taking me with her. Northern Maine is not a winter destination spot !
Even the young ones and the females have pretty markings. Not as splashy as the drakes but still, very pretty. I know that duck isn’t there right now, but as you say, it’s nice to look back and remember how good it will be to have warmer weather back.

They’re quite placid ducks unlike Mallards 😊

It is so odd to think of you with frozen ponds while we swelter in the heat in South Africa 🙂 I always enjoy seeing these ducks.

Even odder is that it’s -23C with light snow and we have to leave our nice warm houses, ugh! I’m glad you enjoyed the duck 😊
