I am now home from Vienna and as I was reviewing my photos from the trip I came across this image. What could be more adorable than a baby duckling trying to imitate its mother, especially with Mother’s Day only a week away?
I took this shot last week in Vienna, Austria at the Volksgarten, where a family of Mallard ducks (Anas platyrhynchos) had taken up residence in a fountain.

That photo should be next to the word cute in the dictionary.
Thanks, Allen. Often my shots are more creepy than cute, so I figured I had to post a cute one when I had the chance. 🙂
Too cute!
🙂
Great capture Mike. You should turn this into a greeting card!
The framing was almost perfect, though I could have used a bit more depth of field. I like the idea of a card, Chris. 🙂
I have been toying with the idea for my birds and underwater shots…
The moments that count.
Tender learning moments that help to improve the changes of survival.
Awwww! Such a precious shot! Wonderful job!
The other day on my to work I saw a mother duck leading its ducklings into the San Lorenzer River, a beautiful sight.
Babies of any variety are always cute!
