"Oh how kind! You are a hero to me Freddy, to all of us. Thank you!" And off Freddy went back to the rescue station with the rest of the heroes.
Here's a big shout out to all the people who work on our roads, keeping them in good shape and keeping us safe. Heroes for sure!
The duckies were getting a little restless.
They had been watching the skies in the distance and saw that they were getting very dark. It wasn't long before there was a torrential downpour that they thought would never quit.
And those windshield wipers were getting quite a workout. Some of the duckies had never set eyes on one before.
Camera lady had fun trying to take photos between the wiper blades (the rain was so heavy she told the duckies it would have been dangerous to shut them off). It was challenging but she managed this one photo and, my goodness, they were all in sharp focus. They gave her a well-done and told her how pleased they were as they knew that would make Camera lady happy.
It wasn't too long after that they drove out of the rain and the skies got a little brighter.
And then...
no matter how long or short the journey, it is always good to get home.
And that's how it goes on a
Saturday Morning at the Bird Feeder.
Hugs to all!
I was going to try and write down the dialog in the photos for our international blogging friends to translate, but as I went on longer in this one, I ran out of time and energy. It is very late for me and I find myself having a hard time keeping awake. I will try to make an addition in the next day or so.
Why am I using the duckies? My birds have been very quiet lately and are thumbing their nose at me for not feeding them until the colder months, something I have mentioned before. They have been scarce. I will look through my old bird photos this week.
(A big thank you to my sister-and-brother-in-law for the loan of the jeep and her collection of duckies. They have been a lot of fun having them around for a while.)
Denise, this is delightful 😊 I love ❤️ the duckies, their talks and your humour. Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.
ReplyDeleteEvery bit as good as the birdfeeder. This is because of your talent of giving life and personality to inanimate objects. And not only do I get the wonderful and whimsical conversation of the duckies, but beautiful and different scenery. Marvelous!!
ReplyDeleteThis was so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe streets outside, the houses, the funny conversations of the birds, the change in weather!!
You took us on a fantastic walk with the ducklings as a group!!
You must spend ages doing this but it is so good and puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful journey with your friends, Denise.
ReplyDeleteSeems a bit odd to me to see your car on the wrong side of the road for us.
Cool!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun ride that was with the ducks. I sure would have liked to see that dancing flagman.
ReplyDeleteLove the ducky drive. Still smiling. Thank you.
ReplyDeletethis is one of my most favorite EVER of your posts, its better than a book because it tells the story but I also have fun imagining you trying for blurs/nonblurs/ and seeing the world through the eyes of your ducks. LOVE the fireman and my favorite duck is the big green duck... great post and I would love to ride and take photos here but refuse to ride with Bob driving, and now he can't drive.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. Seeing the world from a different perspective is such fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. Both the dialog and the pictures
ReplyDeleteHaha those ducks are so much fun :-D And nice of the other duck to give you the sunflower :-D
ReplyDeleteYou are so much fun! I love these.
ReplyDeleteYour sister and brother-in-law have quite the flock there! We currently only have two in ours.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Duckies, for taking me along on your ride. I enjoyed every minute of it & also had fun listening as you conversed amongst yourselves. Be sure to tell your driver, Denise, thank you for me too. ~Andrea xoxo
ReplyDeleteAh, you took the duckys on an outing!
ReplyDeleteDenise this is a zillion times adorable and OMD(ucks) you have the best imagination.
ReplyDeleteI loved the conversation when the wipers started, big trucks are scary especially on a rainy day on a 2 lane road. Your Ducks came to life today.
Hugs
Cecilia
I agree with MS my favorite Saturday Camera Lady chat to date!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou should write a children's book ( well in fact you did write one today).
Ducks on a road trip
Hugs again
Cecilia
You answered the question in my head at the end of your post. I was wondering if the vehicle was a jeep since they are known for the rubber duckies. Fun drive and dialogue. Happy Saturday to you!
ReplyDeleteThe Saturday road trip. What a ride!
