		<description>You can&#039;t blame her at all. There was a little red fox that liked to lurk around. We would usually see him making his way across the fairway to the pond on our way back in, but I never managed to get a picture of him.</description>

		<description>Adorable critters!  Ducks are such a delight to watch.  They can be so calm and busy at the same time!  Beautiful capture!

		<description>Your reflection shots are wonderful. You can&#039;t blame her for protecting the cute little ducklings. It is a big bad world out there.

		<description>There is something about reeds and weeds in a pond that I find attractive and soothing. I squat down and can remain that way until my knees give out first.

Charming reflections of the reeds and their seed heads. I like it very much.
