Well that's just "ducky!"

Hello!  Just popping in today to share more Ducky Derby shots:

Release the Ducks!!!



 And we're off and swimming...or rather floating.


That's a lot of ducks.



We're in no big hurry here.  Gently floating down the stream...





Splish, Splash they were taking a bath....


 More of the masses as they head towards the finish line.



Look out for turbulence!



The duck catchers await at the finish line.


 Here they come.


 The front runner.


And winner!!!

Even though my ducks didn't win any of the prizes (rats!)  it was still a lot of fun to watch and I've seen this race for several years now but it's still an enjoyable event.  Perhaps next year my ducks will win.

    Have been a rubber ducky fan forever -especially when they are wearing sunglasses. Lotsa ducky goodness there!

  9. This looks like so much fun. The huge rubber duck that has been going around the world for awhile now is in Norfolk,VA this week. I hope to have a photo of my Grands with it.

  19. Oh, that's wonderful! (And now I understand the Ducky Derby reference in your more recent post. I knew reading your blog in reverse order might not work!)
