With a Quack! Quack! Here...

Yes, it’s time for another post about ducks!

Lately, I’ve become a fan of ducks and have even made a few feathery friends :)

(When I took this photo, the white duck had her eyes half-closed and was opening and closing her smiling beak as though she was singing silent worship to her Creator ^_^)

I absolutely love feeding these three – they are just so adorable and they each have their own distinct personality.

My favourite is the snowy white duck. She’s the boldest of the lot and the clear leader of the trio – wherever she goes, the other two follow. Every time I pull out a slice of bread, she’s always the first one there; so close she’s almost sitting on my lap as she looks at me with her beak curved into what one could almost swear was a smile.

Then there’s the black-headed one (the one furtherest away from the camera in the above photo). He’s the bodyguard of the trio. Whenever they come to the shore, he always keeps a watchful eye on the other two. Not quite as bold as Snowy, this duck enjoys the odd bit of bread, too.

The third duck is the shyest and most hesitant of the three. He is always tagging along behind the other two and prefers to keeps his distance – his love of bread not great enough to overcome his uncertainty of humans.

Then there’s this girl:

She’s perhaps not the prettiest duck around, and has a tendency to scare the others away, but she’s quite friendly once you get to know her. I can always tell if she is enjoying a feed as her tail wags madly after every delicious morsel :)

It’s amazing to think God – our God - created not only these four ducks, but every duck that ever was. And not just factory-made, either. Each glossy feather and individual personality bears the fingerprints of our Creator. In the big scheme of things, ducks don’t really serve much of a purpose yet you can find them all over the place – each one hand crafted by our loving God.

I am always amazed at just how much care and detail God puts into His creation.

God bless,
