Mama duck and babies

And then somehow our path last Sunday led us back to Luray and the Hawksbill Greenway. We've been coming here for almost 3 years, not every week but maybe once a month in fine weather and this was the very first time we have seen any babies! She actually had 5 and you can see the back end of one just behind it's sibling, but that fifth one... it never would stay with the group! I watched them go down the hill to the creek, cross it and go out in the grasses on the other side and it never did stay with the group. Poor Mama Mallard! Today we are off on a different sort of adventure and two other friends will be joining us. I think no back roads will be involved, but there is the promise of a ferry ride which could prove interesting. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
