My Morfar and Mormor live in my favorite house in the world, on Phantom Lake in Bellevue. Morfar is a fantastic architect and this house is so beautiful.
They recently added another room onto the lower level, for them to move into eventually when they feel like they'd rather tackle less stairs. Jeff and I got to be the first residents of the new room!
Plus, there was a nesting duck out near the mailbox while we were there.
I took this picture with my iPod, and she obligingly got up to let me see the eggs (but really she was just terrified and her true colors were shown when she abandoned her eggs to save herself.)
Then I brought back my bigger camera and this time she stayed her ground, though she looked very nervous. Probably she was just feeling so guilty for getting off the eggs before, and was sitting there realizing she was going to be a terrible mother.
Mommy guilt - not just for humans.
