Nature: And with the rain came the ducks

Even though the weather on Sunday morning was beautiful, the afternoon brought us some scattered thundershowers here in Detroit. Jonathan has a drainage ditch next to his property and with a good rain it becomes a nice little stream. After the rains stopped, we had a mallard pair show up to take advantage of the prime swimming. Someone in the neighborhood must be feeding them...I walked outside and expected them to fly away but they walked right up on the patio towards me! I got some great closeups :) (Click on the photo to get even better feather detail.)
