Boston Public Gardens is home for this family of Bronze ducklings and a very patient mother duck. The statue pays tribute to a well known children’s book “Make way for Ducklings”. A Boston Based shot in the series to support and raise money and awareness about the Steven Hill Foundation. All money raised in the sale of my works goes towards the Foundation. For more information on the foundation and Steve’s touching story please follow this link Steven T. Hill Foundation
here’s somthin’ diff’‘rent. They gravitated together, cat was a bit pissed off, but no tears before bedtime. Those ducklings are pretty camera savy too.

My origami calendar I folded the mother duck out of trace paper around the time I saw ducklings on the way to work; can read about that here. I can’t remember how big the paper was; I believe 13×13mm. The two little ducklings in the centre were folded from 6×6mm pieces of trace paper while the little one at the back was folded from a 5×5mm piece of trace paper. I know mother duck is just behind the 4cm mark, but the duckling at the back is infront of the 1cm mark, hence the duck family is a 3cm spread ^ _ ^ New version added August 21, 2008 / Looks great on a card!

This will be the last origami piece I post before heading off to Rome; and I will unlikely be doing anymore while I’m in school. I’m not fooling around; I made these ducks before in the first version of “3cm Family Swim” as shown above; and remember I said I may redo that shot at some point? I’ll still keep the other one up though. In this coloured version I coloured the water and sky and placed a transparent ruler over the water. This one has one less duckling than the previous one (I laid off the little guy who wouldn’t raise his bum :P) Every duck was folded from trace paper; mommy duck was folded from a 15×15mm piece, the middle one was 6×6mm, and the little one at the back 5×5mm.

Lucky passed away this morning. I still think picking him up from the school oval was the right thing to do, better he die in someones lap than alone and at the mercy of the predator birds. He could have made it so i still think its always worth rescuing than leaving. Thank you for all the wonderful encouraging comments on this post.. Yesterday i wrote…. I was driving home today from work and a woman stopped in time to let a small ball of feathers run out from under her wheels. she tried to catch it, but it ran onto the school oval with ravens at 200 meters away – eeek! There were no parent birds around for this baby native wood duck, the ravens would have got him/her in one swoop! Lucky was so vulnerable out there on the oval with predators and no protection, so i picked it up and took it home – our first duckling rescue!

I just love this pic…Can you imagine nine babies all at once! The way the ducklings are huddled all around the mallard mom…almost as if they were looking for protection or guidence…precious!

When I approached to take a picture he kept trying to hide and eventually ran across the water and hopped on this lily pad in the middle of the pond. He stayed there until I left and when I looked back he swam back to shore. I thought he was so cute as if to say “I am safe here because you can’t see me on this lily pad” Nikon D90
