"Jemima Puddle-duck became quite desperate. She determined to make a nest
right away from the farm.
She set off on a fine spring afternoon along the cart-road that leads over
the hill.
She was wearing a shawl and a poke bonnet.
When she reached the top of the hill, she saw a wood in the distance.
She thought that it looked a safe quiet spot."

We have had a cool spring and everyone, people and animals have been enjoying the beautiful weather. Last week, I spotted these little ducks crossing the road as I headed back in to Still Pond after a long day's work. I pulled over and grabbed for my camera. I wanted to get them crossing the street but I wasn't fast enough.
By the time I had my camera ready the threesome had crossed a big puddle and were heading off into the field toward the forest. They really looked like they were off on some big adventure.
When I looked at the images I had captured, I was reminded of Beatrix Potter
and the wonderful personalities of all of her characters. Jemima Puddle-duck
came to mind. I was so glad that I took the time to stop so that I could capture these images. This is why I always have my camera with me - even on my days commuting to and from work. You never know when the opportunity will present itself and you will have the perfect photo opt in front of you!
