Taking a walk around a pond, I stumbled upon a duck and her little ducklings sitting near the bank close to the waters edge.

I couldn't believe how good the mom was about me walking so close to her and her babies. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to grab some photos and she seemed unbothered I was there. I slowly, but eagerly, took my camera out and to my surprise they just sat there, letting me get closer and closer. It was like she was a proud momma and knew these little ones deserved to be photographed.
