Duck Duck Goose

My new abode is across the street from a large park with walking Tree lined trails that surround a series of ponds. I was thrilled the other day to see a mother goose and her NINE babies swimming in a row in the pond. I saw a turtle on a log. I saw a Mallard, fly in low and do a beautiful splashless, gliding landing on a long, shallow, strip of water. I know the other ducks were giving him a score of "10". It was so fun to watch. I am enjoying these simple moments of joy in my new neighborhood.
