One Beautiful Thing ~ one


Even baby ducks know that a good start to the day, or even a fresh new month, is a good stretch.

I live near a little pond that fills to the brim with lily pads each spring. It is so dense with green, that the little ducks can't swim around them. There is nothing more adorable or entertaining than watching tiny flippers and fuzzy bums pitter patter across the lily pads, peeping for each other as they try to regroup in more open water, catching flies on route.

It must be the stretching that keeps them so nimble.

    jaime! oh my goodness. i jumped from sweet ducklings #15 back to #1 and here is another sweet duck baby, and it is just not fair that i can't reach through this computer screen and squooshle him. soooo adorable. (ps - i think i may be back; we will see. i'm starting at the beginning of may here and will work my way backwards. it may take a couple of days, but i am glad to spend a couple of days here. i've missed visiting.)

    xoxo

    It was my intention to comment on each and every one of this beautiful series. Instead I find myself completely without words - other than beautiful, gorgeous, and so on - words than just don't capture the emotion I feel looking at your photos and reading your words. You have such a gift, my dear friend. Thank you for sharing it. xo
