And then there was 1

Only 8 days ago i took this picture

A young mother with fresh born duckling darlings.

Count them – there’s 8 right?

And now – today – look at what’s happened

She’s got 1 left!

What happened to the other 7? The sneaky cats around here….. Grrrr!

I could hardly get near the one that’s survived. Mother ran around  everywhere this duckling went; understandably very nervous, protective.

For one brief moment they separated – and i took this pic

Hardly much bigger than that fag butt is it?

Fragile life is. Everything is dispensable, disposable.
