My Texas corner of the world
Today, I am starting a new series in my gallery called: My Texas corner of the world
This is my Texas corner of the world friends; Part 1 is a new generation of Mallards my bro started several years ago in memory of our maternal grandmother. My bro is traveling right now; during his absence, (As part of his most laborious project..) I am suppose to look after his raising Mallards project around the 'ol family place the way our grandparents did many moons ago...
As a very young lad, I vaguely remember the sight of Mallards flying in and out of the family place; which at the time I'm sure; I had no idea it was an environment intentionally created by my granddad as a gift for grandma. Eventually, most either moved on one way or another; or were killed by irresponsible neighboring hunters. My grandma opposed hunters to no end and; always made sure the place was never leased to ANYONE for such purposes; she was an animal lover till her last day... Some years ago; my brother begin to raise mallards in memory of our grandmother ...
I haven't told my bro THE GOOD NEWS yet; though I'm sure he'll see 'em now for the first time right here!!! What a cool surprise awaits him on their return home. The set of four you see in my post; were either left on their own when someone killed their hen ...While riding to check my next fence repair section; I ran into these ducklings; they were sitting over by the pond seen in a previous posting; I sure felt sorry for 'em; they looked hungry! I opened my shirt to place inside since it was a cold morning and I had no idea how long they 've been on their own ... I hurried home grinded some feed and now about a week old they're fit as a fiddle!!
A straw hat can serve many purposes besides provide protection from the sun...
Nature is so cool friend; gotta raise 'em now...♪♪♪♪♪♪... the song is one mom use to sing to me way back when (As told by my bro...) thanks mom, luv ya~
Have a great day friend
Ricky
