Momma Duck - Part 1

This story starts as part one of ten.  An exciting experience from last year and a marvel to me that I was able to document the entire event as it took place over time from conception to baby ducks swimming in the pond. 
 
One day last spring, the Rose Garden Crew was taking a break under the tree.  I had as usual been snapping some photos of the peacocks, so coincidentally, my camera happened to be on my lap. 
 
A cry for help goes unheeded ....
 

... and then it happened

I just kept snapping pictures ...

... as the rest couldn't decide to watch or look away.


We all felt sorry for the poor thing ...

... though none of us made effort to help.

And then it really happened ....

and just about the time you wanted to look away ...


... about fifteen seconds from the first moment ...


.. it was over.
