A Glimpse through the Leaves

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Glimpse
Ducktails

Before taking photos I had never noticed that curlicue at the tail of male mallards. It is quite distinct and rather pretty, probably with no other function than impressing the female of the species.

These two were quite obliging in showing off the difference between the genders.

Close-up anyone?

And of course, there is no leaving out the pun.
DUCK!

The Ragtag Daily Prompt: Duck
Short and sweet

In German, kurz means short. It is also a fairly common family name.

Ducks have fairly short legs.

Which normally doesn’t inconvenience them much.

For other species it can create an advantage or an obstacle, depending on the terrain and intention.
Linked to Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: things that are short.

Where have all the petals gone?

This flower is only missing a few petals but these poor birds are missing a whole leg:

A one-legged duck.

A one-legged stork.

A one-socked flamingo.
For One Word Sunday: missing. Hopefully not missing are more pictures illustrating the theme – click here.
