This spring we've had a pair of mallards hanging around in our pool each morning. Everything was swell until another fella showed up and there was an epic battle over who got to mount the female! We all stared in amazement at the show and were just glad that none of them drowned during the fight! Here they are in more peaceful times....
After a hard days' work, the girls are relaxing on the couch with their dad (also relaxing, just a little bit). You can't tell from this photo, but Alice is actually reading her book. Superstar!
