"This piece is a tribute to my love for animals and the many families of ducks I’ve raised. My grandmother and I used to always go to the lake and feed the ducks together. Shortly after she passed a mother duck and her ducklings came by and lived at our house and we helped raised them. Those ducklings come by and had their babies with us and we have now raised three generations of one ducks family and we plan continue to keep raising them as long as they come."
