The Serendipitous Duckling Shows the Way

No story here, just some photos I took this morning, in the creek down the back.  The other day, a Pacific Black Duck was in our yard with her three ducklings.  This morning, one duckling had wandered up to fossick in the grass by the garden.

It fled back to the garden when I came out with my camera, and went scrambling down the bank and into the long pool above the rapids - not sure where mum and siblings were, and hope this one hasn't been left behind.

It is amazing how fast such a little ball of down and feathers can move.  Also amazing are the colours the camera captures when the ripples rearrange the light filtering down through the trees.

The camera is only a fairly old model Iphone, and none of these pictures have been edited or 'shopped - it is just the serendipity that so often offers amazing beauty, if we are able to look.

The world is full of beauty and grace, if only we go out into it and let it wash over us.
