I can think of one – Jemima Puddle-Duck from the Peter Rabbit series of books by Beatrix Potter. I used to read them to my kids when they were young. (See here for more details and picture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tale_of_Jemima_Puddle-Duck) And, when a cricketer is out without scoring, they say he was out for a duck – due to the 0 looking like a duck egg. π
Oh those are excellent additions Mike! My daughter still uses a mug, saucer, and plate with Jemima Puddle Duck painted on it. It was gifted to her when she was a baby. The illustrations are so sweet.
You’ve got lots of ducks there my firend. Want to trade a couple for some turkeys? So, I loved Pretty in Pink and still watch it if it comes on when I have down time. I had the sound track on cassette. That doesn’t make me old right? π
π€£thank you Chris! I will gladly share some ducks with you! You can keep the turkeys my friend. π if having the soundtrack on cassette makes you old then I am old too buddy. Are you dressing up tomorrow? Iβm working from home. Iβll be wearing my Nightmare Before Christmas hoodie. My daughter is going as a Schuyler Sister from Hamilton. π
Wow, you and your daughter are going all out. Is she into Hamilton? Our 12 year old niece is totally into it. I have a face mask that has a Jack-o-lantern nose and mouth on it. I plan to where that tomorrow while running around town getting some errands done in the afternoon. Have fun tomorrow.
Yes always striking I really know so little about birds…but Iβm curious as our daughter lives close to a bird sanctuary…and last night our foto club had a zoom meeting with this photographer perhaps , you know him…he had a lot to say and show…
I think of the old comedy routine where one person spots the fowl, shouts duck, and everybody else takes a big stage flop. Thanks for sharing these lovelies, Sandra! They are in a row, too. Ha ha.
Beautiful series of photographs, Sandra!
