There was a family of spot-billed ducks downstream on the Shukugawa River.

There were 10 ducklings.

The mother duck looks like she’s saying, “I’m beautiful.”

And here are the incredibly cute ducklings. I didn’t know they huddled together this closely.

Three of them are lined up so neatly.

Duckling A looks like it’s saying, “Wanna go somewhere and play?”

Mother duck: “All right, let’s go.”

Duckling: “Ah, wait for meee!”

Duckling: “I found something to eat!”

Mother duck: “You all better keep up now.”

Mother duck: “Oh, they passed me.”

A long, long line of them~~~

Mother duck: “You all are pretty fast.”

And so, the family of spot-billed ducks went on their way…
The End
Actually, they didn’t go anywhere.

They were hanging out with a turtle leisurely sunning itself.
