Anticipation, Takami-san, anticipation!
Thank you Rajiv-san! I wish him safe and happy life 🙂
Me too!
I didn´t leave a comment here, so here it goes, what in thre world?….. Actually for me that bird (beautiful picture as always) seems to me that he or she, can you actually distinguish if it is a he or a she? Anyways, the bird to me seems like the Dalai Lama ( spelled that wrong), the “thing” seems it is in some sort of meditating space
Hello Charly,
I loved your comment, so funny and original 🙂 To answer your question, I can’t distinguish (he or she) until they grow bigger 😉
That´s why mother told me….
So adorable!
Thank you Sue 🙂
Just wonderful! Sensitive and beautiful.
Thank you Mr. Nico. Blessings to you and your family. And Happy Father’s Day in advance 🙂
Thank you Takami! That’s a wonderful blessing. Peace to you and yours.
So fuzzy and cute! Nice capture. 🙂
Thank you Laura. Very nice to have you stop by 🙂
Wonderful photo. Sweet baby.
Thank you Gigi. I wish him a safe and good life ❤
Wow, she’s wonderful your photo.
He may be an apprehension that little duck,
it begins in the life I wish him sweet
I wish you a beautiful Friday.
Thank you Herve. I wish him a healthy and good life too 🙂
So small and so cute ! 🙂 🙂
Very beautiful Takami !
Have a nice day , my dear friend! ❤
Yes, very cute! Thank you for your comment my friend ❤
I think being fearful is in the nature!
Yes, I agree! And it’s part of survival instinct as well 🙂
Looking at his eyes, I see trepidation but also hope that one day he will be up and flying 🙂 You’ve captured his thoughts right there 🙂 Have a great day Takami.
Thank you Randall. Yes he was nervous – as I’m sure I would have been – but as you say, there is hope that he’ll be flying the skies and off to new adventures 🙂

目に表情があるますね。懇願しているような、おねだりかな。

こんにちは。コメントありがとうございます。「子ども」って表情が豊かでよく変化しますね(^^)無事に育ってほしいです。
That’s a wonderful photo! Adorable duckling!
Thank you! Yes, ducklings are so adorable, especially this little duck 🙂
I think it’s trepidation. Poor thing is staying in place but it might not be the safest decision.
Yes, the expressions are so multi-layered and complex, it’s almost impossible to know what’s truly going on in their minds. Fortunately for this duckling, Mama Duck was not too far away.
A very sweet shot, dear Takami! I see anticipation with just a hit of trepidation ❤
Thank you Helen! The expressions on the faces of ‘kids’ never cease to amaze 🙂 ❤
Very well taken Takami. Great choice of f/stop to get that soft background. He/she is also ulta-cute! 🙂
Thank you Bob! So happy you could stop by 🙂
What a sweetheart. Another great shot Takami. I hope you are having a great summer.
Thank you friend. I love his expression. Our summer is turning out to be rather hot and muggy.
Our summer, after a couple days of a false start, went right back into winter, complete with cold temperatures and steady rain. The forecast says we’re in for hot weather beginning on Sunday, but with July about to begin, people really aren’t holding their breaths waiting any longer. If it comes it comes (so much for the much-vaunted “global warming”). Lol. I’m sure it will get here soon enough.
Too cute for words, Takami. You took a great photo!
Thank you Noelle 🙂
Such a sweet, adorable face! Takami, you have really captured the spirit of this animal; so lovely indeed. 🙂
Thank you Deb. All “kids” have such rich expressions 🙂
This image is so nice and lovely! The bokeh is perfect.
Hello Hien,
So glad you could stop by. I love ducklings (who doesn’t?) and this little brought a ray of sunshine during the rainy season 🙂 Thank you, as always, for your nice comment.
unique!
Thank you! 🙂
That’s just about the cutest little thing I’ve seen! ❤
Thank you Jill ❤ Ducklings always brighten my day 🙂
Mine too!
Adorable!
Thank you Kathy 🙂 Ducklings are adorable ❤
Dear me, what a cutie! Great job, Takami!
Thank you Inese! Ducklings are very cute indeed ❤
And soft 🙂
🙂 🙂
Too cute!!!
Thank you! All “kids” are cute, and I loved his expression.
わ～～～可愛い(^^♪ 正にタイトル通り期待と不安ですね～～～。
