Colorful pairs at the log cabin

I am heading downstate from the log cabin shortly and looking forward to checking up on all of your blogs! I've missed you my friends! It was great weather up until yesterday afternoon and then it started raining. Here's a couple photos I'd like you to take a look at. Which pair do you think is more colorful........

A pair of Wood Ducks.....



Or my mom and her sister? (Notice their matching red hair and pink outfits! HA! HA!)

*My mom is wearing the baseball cap.

P.S. I need to draw my log cabin follower winner tonight since I was out of town this past Thursday! Be sure to check back on Monday! Thank you!!

P.P.S. I've been making mother's day gifts from my nature photographs! Be sure to check them out at my online store. When you click on the link, on the right side bar there is another link that says "Mother's Day". I'll be adding more in the next couple days! :-)

    Hmmm...that's a hard one! I think the pair decorating the couch have a little brighter plumage!!

    Have a great day, Denise

    The wood ducks are cute but the pair in pink look like they are thoroughly enjoying their time at your log cabin. So I will have to go with Mom her sister!

    Those ducks look very cute, don't they. Now, do I mean the feathered variety or the two pink ones on the couch! Both, I guess.
    Love your Blog.
    Blessings, Star

    It is amazing that you write short stories, Shelley, but I am not at all surprised. Your use of language is lilting and poetic. I have one short story published, if you'd like to read it you can find it here:

    I also write books for kids of all ages.

    I can't wait to tell my husband about your cabin!

    Looks like your mom and aunt kicked their shoes off and had a good time. (or did you make them take them off?) ha!

    Well, they're both very colorful pairs. Individually, I think I would rank them as follows: 1) Male wood duck; 2) Mom's sister; 3) Mom; 4) Female wood duck. The female wood duck needs a fashion make over to get a little more color in her outfit! :-)
