Morning peeps

Aww dont you want to just give these little darlings a big cuddle?

They look so soft and squidgy :-) I love the way their beaks look as though they are made of plastic too, just like a live cuddly toy. my intention in this shot was to show just how soft and fluffy they are so i didnt really want an over sharp image.

In case you didnt guess already this is a closer view of the young goslings from Cosgrove at the weekend. In addition to looking lovely they make the most adorable soft cheeping sound when they are trotting around after thier parents or lagging along and being naughty as the last one in the group was constantly doing.

There is a lot to be said for sitting and watching these little darlings. Trotting around feeding and playing. Thier little lives so simple and seeminly trouble free. It really takes the weight of the world off your shoulders to stop and spend a few moments watching them. Not to mention the smile they bring to your face with thier little antics.

Do check back tomorrow for a view of the slightly older goslings, quite a lot of change in just a few weeks growth I think you will be suprised.

TTFN and have a great day

nice weather here today .... for ducks.... its chucking it with rain again lol

love Smurfie

Hello Helen,

In the morning I watch a couple of magpies on the lawn, and I wonder what they possibly find to eat there...
It can't be worms because they are deeper in the ground as we haven't had rain for a while, must be some insects I guess!
They don't eat grass, do they? Maybe ducks do, hehehe!
Cute indeed, and an effective point of view...

Greetings,
Pablo -

LOL!!! Sure are cure :-).
Excellent capture.

Hello Helen,
These little ones are too cute.
I like how your low POV really helps to capture the texture of their downy feathers.
Great compo.
Nicely framed and presented.

Great composition and sharp details - if piglets score 10/10 for cuteness then these little fluff balls must score 11/10
Thanks for sharing
