mallard duckings

Summer’s finally here and so are ducklings. My first sighting of the tiny yellow and brown swimmers was on an early morning walk around the lakes at Lower Lake Ranch.

Clouds overhead reflect white in the dark water while low morning sunlight traveled up the valley to light this straggler.

The reflections changed as I moved around the lake. Light changed, too, cloudy one moment, a bit of bright sun the next.
