The last of this year's duckings have finally hatched - late bloomers you might call them. This new family of ducks/ducklings currently reside in the pond just outside my college... Gave them some break after a run, which was a good break from mugging (which i've come to realise how little time there is now)

In any case, I also took some pictures of them....
Ducklings following the mother duck...

Pretty reflections...

Some shots of ducks and butterflies before I left for Eastern Europe which I have only managed to scan now... (It's another of my favourite roll of film... :))

A duck's nest... it appears that the mother duck has gone off for a little while... although she was back the next day...

For some reason, this photo didn't catch my eye the first time I saw it, and only when I was scanning it in did I realise what a beautiful shot this was... :)

Some plant which had leaves/flowers that looks like caterpillars...

Of ducks - my favourite shot in this roll... somehow this duck got into a nice pose when I clicked the shutter...

And butterflies.. this was somewhat the closest I ever got to a butterfly.. It was probably about 20cm from my lens, so close that I could see the proboscis going in and out of the flower sucking honey... Click on it and you will be able to see it up close... :)

The rest of the shots are available here. Don't be fooled by the poor quality thumbnails - the actual shots are richer in colour and contrast and detail. hehe.
