The rain today was in pause for some hours and so me and my hubby @paolobeneforti could spent our free time walking outside to clean our minds and to move our old bones (that is always a good idea! :P ).
To self-motivate us to walk every day, we use to got along the side of the river close to my home where some ducks live since some years. The past season we watched the adults with their little ones and day by day we watched how much they grew up and it was very sweet, believe me.
Now all those little ones are adults and every female has her better half, for a total of 5 couple. While during their childhood they are all similar (all in the shades of brown and they used to stay all together in the same place, now that theyt are adults the head of the male ones has so beautiful colors from dark green to dark blue and every couple stay in a different (small) area, but not so far from the other couples.
They are friendly enough to take a little food from us (but not directly from our hands, sure ^_^ ) and so I can take pics of them in quiet, as you can see.
You know animals are one of my favorite subjects to paint and the ducks inspiring me a lot of time and while I watch them I feel myself in a very positive mood. ❤️
Just to know, I took those pics just around one hours ago. ^_^
See ya soon and stay safe,
Silvia
