Nice weather for ducks

Taivas & I had another wet walk in the forest yesterday morning, with Mary and her flatties, Raffles & Missy. We went to Pig Bush, always one of my favourite walks so it was pleasant despite the rain but I couldn't take any photos! Still I suppose that saved me some editing and flickr-ing time and gave me more time to spend on Ducky. I did get quite a lot done yesterday so I'm hoping you'll be impressed - LOL - though I think the hardest part is yet to come so I could still ruin him! I've begun to add a soft, blended background - I hope I'll be able to deepen the colour of this a bit more.
