(11) These are the same ducklings (presumably!), three weeks after the first set of pictures. They've exchanged their downy feathers for more mature feathers, and look rather like slightly smaller versions of their mother. They still clustered around her and each other, 'tho. Shot with the 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 at 46mm, f/7.1, 1/125s, ISO 100.

(12) One of the young ducks takes a nap. Peaceful-looking, isn't it? Shot with the 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 + EC-14; composite focal length and f-stop of 283mm and f/7.1, respectively. 1/100s, ISO 100. Slightly soft, so sharpened a bit during post-processing.

(13) Zooming out a bit, we see that there are actually quite a few young ducks here -- their mother was a bit away, but still keeping an eye on them. That's more than can be said for their father, as far as I could tell... Again, shot with the 50-200mm f/2.8-3.5 + EC-14, with composite f-stop and focal length of f/9 and 77mm respectively. 1/100s, ISO 200. Again, some sharpening and post-processing to raise shadow detail.
