Mama, 7 Teeny Ducklings: Photo Of The Day

ALAMEDA, CA — Nick Stellato snapped this photo at Ballena Isle Marina at the beginning of May. At the time, he says the ducklings were just one week old. These 7 little fluff balls were already adept swimmers, keeping up with mama who proudly paraded them around.

Thank you for sharing, Nick!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking 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.
