Friday bonus: koi and ducks

Some bonus pictures of the fish and ducks in our pond. The koi are starting to come out of hibernation, becoming more active as the weather warms up:

Of course, when I toss out fish food, the ducks scoop it up too:

Also, spotted a few of the smaller koi:

But wait, there’s more. Those pictures were from yesterday; today, I saw a bunch of the small koi (probably a couple of years old) and some of the older ones (about seven years old) amongst the grasses below the pond deck. I tossed in some fish food, which of course attracted the ducks:

Flock Friday for April 10

This week, we start with a GIF of frisky ducks, then a bunch more duck pictures, some token chicken pics, and finish with some misty ducks.

The aforementioned GIF (might take a minute to load):

Too many duck pictures? They’re just such fun. I should try to get more pictures of the chickens, though.
