ReplyDeleteI love these and it is so much fun to see them enjoying the water!! I, too, love it when they get so exuberant!!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lot of fun. Almost makes me wish I was a duck.
ReplyDeleteBathing is not a chore or a necessity but a good dose of fun for this character. And it looks like a good water gym workout too. Great series of photos.
ReplyDeleteHi Love to see the ducks or any bird bathing. Such fun. I had Greylag bathing on a video this week (Sat) if you wish to have a peep.
ReplyDeleteHappy bathing! :-)
ReplyDeleteGood set of photographs Arija. If we could run them past quickly they would almost be moving. Hope you are well.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to watch birds taking baths. Nice shots!
ReplyDeleteWonderful and so lovely series of photos! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWatching birds bathe is always so much fun. They look so happy, they make me want to be out there splashing with them....if the waters warm.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see...
ReplyDeleteWaterfowl bathe with such gusto... Thank you for linking into Nature Notes Arija..... Michelle
ReplyDeleteMakes me want to say Splish Splash, I was taking a Bath...so fun watching them in this daily activity and your share gave me a warm giggle. Love to you. I hope you are doing very well~
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! Great sequence.
ReplyDeleteGreat set of shots - we had these rather splendid ducks on a dam behind the house we rented in the hills behind Lorne last week.
ReplyDeleteIf the truth be told, the pictures in my "collection" were taken on family trips, rather than work trips. Work tends not to send me away as often as it did in the past.
