Melanie's Randomness said...

the "awww" just came right out! I'd probably freak out for a second if I saw a duck randomly outside my windoe but then I'd return to the "aww". lol!

In Boston, the organization I work for just held our annual Duckling Day event yesterday. Read: hundreds of families dress up their toddlers in duck costumes to walk around the "Make Way For Ducklings" statues! Adorable.

All that's missing is, "Aflac."

mina said...

i don't get how people can live in houseboats... i think it would be perpetually sea sick!

mosey said...

A duck hopped into my lane at the pool one morning recently and swam a few laps with me. Obviously very social!

abigail said...

I'm so jealous! It was my dream to live on a houseboat when I lived in the Netherlands.
Gorgeous.

Sal said...

How darling!

Joanna Goddard said...

Dancing Branflake said...

I live next to a lake and those ducks seriously love humans and have no fear of us. It's so funny to see them quacking around people's houses acting like they own the streets.

Mocha Mornings said...

What a beautiful home! I wonder what other things swim up to her window.

Blue Is Bleu said...

My aunt has a pond with around 10 mandarin ducks and they're the cutest things... they come over once in a while to poke their heads into our conversations hehe Very adorable.

wishful nals said...

Carissa said...

adorable!! I love little duckies! this reminds me of when I was moving into my dorm my first year of college and a deer came right up to my window to see what was going on! :)

jen laceda said...

I love Pia's work!!! Her new book should be another hit!

hip hip gin gin said...

That is beyond cute! I can't decide if I'm more jealous of living on a houseboat or of getting to see cute duckies like this. A bit of both probably!

NB said...
