These are not from my garden

Saddly these sweet animals were not found in my backyard, but they were so cute I wanted to share them. The pictures were taken while visiting Washington D.C. on a field trip with my two children. It is fun to take pictures of the wildlife downtown because you can get so much closer to them.



This mother duck and her ducklings were trying to figure out how to get into the fountain that is on the west face of the Capital (the one that is surrounded by the Capital steps). She had walked around and around trying to find a place that was low enough for her ducklings to climb in. Two soft hearted security guards that were going off duty went in search of a ramp. But, by the time they came back with something a few minutes later, she was just deciding to waddle away.
