Nice weather for ...

When Shimelle typed up today's prompt she obviously had no idea that this morning would see wet pavements and damp grass and much as I try to follow her instructions and prompts to the letter, I think that I will have to wait and see if the weather improves this afternoon!
The thought of trying to smuggle Princess out into a muddy environment would have been like something out of Mission Impossible so I have chosen three other willing volunteers. They are bathtime ducks which are sold in aid of Cancer Research charity every year and I started buying them 3 years ago. The first one I bought was Disco Duck. The one wearing the silver tiara. Put her in your bath and as soon as her tail feathers hit the water, a little light inside her changes colour.
How easily I digress. Whilst the weather outside is very suitable for ducks, I decided that the bathroom floor was as close to the ground as I was going to get so here are three shots taken from various angles. I think my favourite shot is the one taken while standing above them looking down but I can see that with a larger subject, the 'flat on the floor' one would work well too.
Hmmm. Something larger. Somewhere clean. {light bulb moment}

    I like the birds eye view photo the best. Or maybe that's a ducks eye view.
