In an industry of rejection, it truly is about the small victories and growth along the way. Out of 333 entries, 14 winners, and 32 or so honorable mentions, I’m proud of this!✨ I share it with my amazing critique group who help me see what I don’t see. 😂 @susancorry.bsky.social Marty, and Theresa.

A mommy 🦆 has taken residence in our yard and we will have baby ducks soon. We bought a ramp so they can come in and out of the pool and not drown:( We will later have to drain the pool because it’s full of duck 💩. But she’s a pretty mama and my son loves checking on her and her🥚 🪺 #ducksinapool #pb
