It rains a lot in Florida during the summertime and this day I just had the itch to still get out after the rain and take some photos. I was walking toward the front of my 5 acres and came across this family of Muskovy ducks with these super cute ducklings swimming in a water drainage ditch. Perfect!
Below you'll see a lot of horses, my favorite subject since I was a child, and also a range of pets and other items found in nature near my home. Symmetry in nature, complex colors and design, contrast and always beauty if you're willing to see it.
