Before anything, I'd like to wish a Happy 25th Birthday to my first born. I love you, Jeffrey.
A single feather floating on the pond. Who might it belong to?
Perhaps this sleepy mallard who kept a wary eye on me.
Or could it belong to his silly partner who seems to be in the habit of transporting them on her bill? In any event, how many critters do you see in this image? Just the one duck? How about the dozens of minnows swimming off to the left? (I'm sure Frank will correct me if that's not what they are.)
And now, without further delay, here are the Posts of the Week. The icon below is yours for the taking if if your blog post is named as a POTW.

The lone feather is magic.
The lone duck staring you down is cool and reveals a bit of about his trustful ways.
Two thumbs up!
Wonderful reading recs.
Now: do you ever worry the duckies will peck your eyes out?
It seems a pertinent question.
your shots uplift and amaze - everyday!!!!
gotta pin this one, the duck's eye...
some new (to me) winners, YaY!

I wonder what ducks taste like Hilary? I have never eaten one. Seen them in the supermareket though - Dave
Oh my goodness, trust you to find a duck with attitude - haaaaaaaa, that shot is priceless!
And I am absolutely THRILLED at the wonderful surprise to see my name listed up here - wow, thank you so much, Hilary, it's truly made my week - I am beaming from ear to ear! I must go pay the others a visit..
OH! That feather!
that feather reminded me of the opening of the Joy Luck Club movie... and thanks for the good reading/viewing!
I love your feather pictures, especially the one on the duck's bill. I'll head off to read the POTW now, Hilary. You enrich my life in many ways...
that mallard is a beauty
congrats to all POW people :)
Happy Birthday Jeffrey!!
my Jeffrey will be 39 in May

That feather shot is exquisite!
picked some good ones again this week. LOVED the bicycle story. truly brought chills.
and i love the shot of the drake!
quack quack...smiles...really like the pics...esp the feather...congrats to all POTWs
What a nice capture.I wonder if that duck is after minnows.
Wonderful! Thank you !
The feather on her bill makes me giggle! I didn't even notice the minnows until you pointed them out.
Happy birthday Jeffrey. And thanks for the wonderful images that make us pause.
the other day I saw a pair of ducks happy on their new pond (the low in of a cornfield that will be dry in a week). I smiled and through, some real estate agent of the feathered variety sold them a bill of goods
A Happy Birthday to Jeffrey and thank you dear Hilary for POTW!
Love being by the water and enjoying the action. Your feathers and ducks are perfect;love that one with the feather on her bill.

Our ducks are out and about, too! I guess spring is really here. The duck with the feather on his beak is so cute.
And happy birthday to your Jeffrey. As it happens, it's my Jack's birthday, today, too!
Congrats to all the POTW bloggers...I'll be by to visit as soon as I can.
i love that top feather image~
happy happy birthday to you and your son!
Oh, I'm so jealous of your duck shots! And congrats to the POTW - loved Shrinky's tour!!
Some lovely shots of your own, and excellent choices on the POTW. I'm with everyone else on that wary duck.
Wishing many happy returns of the day to Jeffrey!
Lovely ducks.
My guess would be that the silly duck with the feathers in her mouth would be lining her nest! Keep up the POT as I like looking at some other blogs.
Great post! Happy birthday Jeffrey! Congrats to the POTW! And I LOVE ducks! Could it get any better? :)
That feather floating is beautiful. It looks like it floating in the sky.
Can't blame that dowdy lady duck for trying to gussy herself up a bit with a few extra fine feathers what with that dandy male of her species all duded up in such a blaze of glory.
Great pictures, the one of the female Mallard with the feather on her beak is precious.
wonderful collection, the sleepy mallard is stunning :)
Awsome shots Hilary. I've seen ducks with feathers in their bills, too. Don't know what's up with that. I'm personally hoping to get to our local duck pond during the day sometime so all my duck shots don't end up looking like evil creatures have taken over the pond.
Ahhh, I have missed your photos and posts of the week! Happy Birthday to your son!
Happy Birthday Jeffery.
Love the green on that mallard.

Congrats to all the POTW posts.
