Default never leave your camera at home....

We went on a walk this morning and I actually thought I would give the kids a break and leave my camera at home. Well we get a few houses down and find a mama duck walking her ducklings to the pond. We followed them all the way there about 1/2 mile. It was so darn sweet and cute. But I left my camera at home

Ah but the memory is safe in your mind forever. If you had taken your camera there would have been no ducks.

Its called sods law!

I walk the dog every weekend, when I take my camera i see nothing, when I go without I see owls, deer and foxes! lol

I leave it home now so i get to see the wildlife!

Don't fret, animals are creatures of habit. It'll happen again.

I tried to take some with my cell phone but the glare was so harsh on the screen I couldn't see anything. It was just so cute all the ducklings would stop and play in puddles and the mama duck would tell them to keep moving lol.
