A Mother's Load

Thanks very much everyone this is the most views, favs and I believe comments I have received in one day without an explore. You are all too kind, thank you very much for making my experience on Flickr an amazing one!

 

We were learning how to use kayaks the past few days, this morning I felt confident enough to carry my camera in a dry bag. Only a few hundred yards from where we launched we discovered this very busy Mother Merganser with 8 chicks. Photography from a kayak is a whole new learning curve plus I did not want to frighten these darling little fuzz balls, so everything I did was in slow motion and very methodical. I got a few shots and the camera survived another adventure :)
