We saw this duck family in a nearby pond. Though the drake was present, the mother duck was definitely the one in charge. It was fun watching her lead and guide the ducklings around, both in the water and out.

Cute! The quote is so appropriate!
Thanks! 🙂
Aw! I just love to see the little ones. They follow so closely behind mama, tripping over each other.
