"One touch of nature makes
the whole world kin."

This female mallard brooding her eight ducklings after a dip in the pond is a sweet sight on a spring evening at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania, as a white feather and reflections of clouds roll by in the water.
Female mallards brood their young regularly, particularly at night, as they easily chill. Brooding also keeps them safe.
"Sweet spring full of sweet days and roses,
a box where sweets compacted lie."
~ George Herbert

Sweet mallard ducklings swim close to their mama
as a June sunset kisses them with light on the pond
at Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania.
"We're living such a sweet life
Oh what a neat life, making our
dreams come true ..."
"Sweet Life"
~ Paul Davis
