nothing like cutes to get you out of a bind

For some reason, I'm not my jolly self today. Luckily, we have a pretty good source of cute things in the immediate vicinity to help me out. These ducks were so tame - I was crawling towards them with my camera to my face, ready to catch them before they ran (note the use of a 24-70 - my lens isn't built for this sort of thing!), but they just stayed put. It was awesome. I carried on snapping, trying to get them to respond to me, but I guess I took it too far and they ran. Bless.

Oh yeah - obligatory dewy grass shot - I refuse to take both my flashes and an assistant with me to get this right, so this will have to do!
