I had some time before a meeting yesterday so I decided to drive around Lake Waramaug to take new photos. It was a beautiful day, and I was not disappointed. I am in the process of putting the photos together to share them, but this one was just to great to pass up putting out there now.
Just moments before this picture was shot, the pooch was swimming after the ducks. Then just as he reached them he turned around and headed for shore. I wasn't quite sure why he turned around. Because he had reached his goal? Or he realized he was outnumbered? Or perhaps he just lost interest, maybe a sound in the distance had taken his attention. I don't know. Or maybe the ducks were a bigger challenge than he thought.
I did see these ducks just a bit before, I think they were in class. You really have to wonder what that heron was teaching them, don't you?

Good morning Andrea-Those are incredible shots. In the right place at the right time for them. Love the captions as well with them. The first one gives a whole new meaning to the term "ducks in a row" Have yourself a wonderful day.
The heron was telling them to watch out of dogs! lol

That was a wonderful photo and you were fortunate to of been in the right place at the right time. Thanks for sharing!
Andrea...
They were all trying to figure out how to drive the boat so they could run over the dog!
Andrea, the heron was probably letting them know that their diet is all wrong and they need to eat more fish. Nice photos
Great shots Andrea and love your story line....LOL, maybe Ed Silva is on to what the class was all about. We know the ducks in our area are very fond of the corn kernals we feed them!
Good morning Andrea,
These pictures are beautiful. Sometimes it just feels good to be around the beauty.
Hi Andrea, your post reminds me of the time I was kayaking on Fontana Lake just outside of Bryson City, NC. Out of nowhere a beautiful black lab swam up to the boat. I loved your post and the photos. Sometimes it really is about being in the right time at the right place and knowing when to really appreciate the specialness of the moment. Have a wonderful day.
Such great photos. I have to admit, I carry my camera with me wherever I go now. I guess I am also an AR addict!
Andrea....looks like some were busy socializing....just like modern day public schools!!!!
Maybe he realized he was tired of swimming and was farther out that he wanted to be.
Andrea, the picture gave me a chuckle, many people referred my relationship with my kids like some shadowing ducklings, and they often still follow me around.LOL
Love the photos! Such a beautiful site. Water is so calming:) I, also, like your signature on your photos, very nice.
Andrea, well there is only one way to know for sure, and that is to disguise yourself as a duck and see what the heron has to say :)
Good morning Andrea.
Those are beautiful photos...Love the lake...
Have a great day.
Andrea, i posted pictures of herons yesterday too (babies with parents i think)...they are just amazing...but i do like that huffin' and puffin' dog swim with the ducks...great shots..
These are great photos Andrea - It is fun to imagine what animals are thinking and why they do what they do.
From a distance, a bunch of ducks looks like a spot. Once you get closer, the perspective changes. Dogs aren’t dumb, you know.
Andrea you quack me up!
