These cute little ducks and ducklings swim and play in a pond right outside my window

This summer has been a crazy, fun one. In April I married my sweetheart and after our honeymoon we moved up to Oregon for the summer. Neither Cody or I had been to Oregon before so it’s been a happy adventure. One of the first things to capture my heart about Oregon was the small pond that was home to cute little ducks a few steps from my front door. I could hear them quacking at all hours of the day… and night. The cute little ducks were so small and happy (and loud) that when I couldn’t sleep I would go out to take photo of them.

Turns out not all of them were cute little ducks… There were a few angry big ducks who were very protective of their babies. So I had to watch from a little bit of a distance. The ducks were only at the pond when the sun wasn’t high in the sky so I had some lighting trouble but I managed to mess with them in post enough that I loved the result.

I planned to continue taking photos throughout the summer but believe it or not Oregon can get pretty warm in the summer. Unfortunately for me that meant the small pond dried up quickly and before I knew it my ducks were gone.

Enjoy the cute little ducks and their fuzzy tails!
