Bee bum!

Bees are the best.

Wow. That's a really coppery copper! Do they stay that color?

Sooo many ducklings!
I think I remember reading that mallards share parenting duties. (I hope so, or there's a very busy mallard hen around here.)

The Bracken frond looks like a cluster of cute fuzzy little caterpillars. :D
