I was on my way to take Tilly out back when the phone rang so I picked up the kitchen phone, which gives me a perfect view of the pool.  There were Mr. and Mrs. Mallard bobbing their heads at each other in what I assumed was part of the mating ritual.  Sure enough, next thing I knew he was on her pumping away and holding her head underwater!  As I was describing it to Colleen she said I should be filming - duh - so I ran for my camera.  But (of course) as soon as I turned it on and switched it over to the film setting he finished.

Maybe I'll be faster next time!
