The other day, I thought I’d try out a new camera lens by taking some photos of ducks. It turned out that the ducks were all having the duck version of a bad hair day. If the ducks were on facebook, they would immediately demand that I untag them from these pictures.
Female Mallard: lovely coy pose, but you blinked.
Male Common Goldeneye: no, man, your head –
Female Mallard (and female Wood Duck): not sure how to say this, but you’re drooling…
Male Ruddy Duck: if you could just lift your head a bit –
– no, lift it up, you’re doing the opposite –
– no…
Sorry everyone, someone flew in front of the picture.
Wood Ducks: sorry, you had your mouth open.
Male Hooded Merganser: if you could stop bathing and raise your hood for a sec –
…
Okay, ready?
Wait –
What are you doing?!
Okay, perfect, hold it – oh no…
Female Hooded Merganser: Great, you too.
Oh come on.
Male Mallard (and male Wood Duck): That’s it. I’m done.
Interesting pictures :-).
That was fun! Thanks!
Thanks for the smiles on this one! Great awkward ducks. Now you got me thinking though, all the artist submissions for the federal duck stamp should actually look as silly as these photos :)
Haha! Now that you mention it, I think something like the last photo would be a great duck stamp – one of the ducks looking all dignified and elegant, as befits the occasion, and the other scratching away.
