A quack quack here and a quack quack there...

Noah and I stopped by our local park for a picnic......and I snapped a few of the new baby ducks....they were adorable...these are only a few I took....she had 9 babies....and there was another momma duck and little tiny babies....and lots of geese....and......ants...

Then I noticed this ant carrying a big crumb wandering across my blanket.....so I decided to switch to MACRO mode and follow him to see if I could catch any good shots. I got a few....he moved so fast it was very difficult to take any successful pictures of him. Here is one of the better ones I got......I was lying flat on my stomach in the ground with my camera only about 2-3 inches away from this ant......That white thing on the other side of the green grass is the big crumb he is carrying.......check out the hairs on his body and his eyes!
