Darling Baby Ducky Takes To The Water: Photo

ALAMEDA, CA — Steve Gorman took this photo of a duckling.

He told Patch in an email, "In a sure sign of spring, the baby ducklings have appeared this week on the duck pond at Robert Crown Memorial State Park in Alameda. Within a week or so the baby goslings will arrive too, but for now, the ducklings have arrived first and have the pond to themselves."

Thank you for sharing your adorable photo with Patch readers.

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny, or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we'd love to feature it on Patch.

We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty and fun that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents. Cell phone images are fine.
