Was down at the pond when a pair of momma Mallards paddled by with fifteen baby ducks in tow. These ducklings are doing pretty well. There just used to be onesies and twosies at most, but a group of 15! It's great, except when they try to cross the street, waddling along in single file ... it takes forever.
I hope this means that our efforts to control the feral cat population are paying off. The City is trapping the ferals, spaying/neutering them, and then releasing selected animals back into the areas where they were caught.

There's something so very sweet about a momma and her ducklings.
Hey, I'm intrigued about your comment on my blog today; you wrote, "I'm thankful for finding I thought I would never find. I'm happy. Life is good!" What is the missing word??
So very sweet. The last time I witnessed a momma and her ducklings crossing the road I was overcome with unexpected joy. It's a rare sight in suburban L.A.
p.s. I finished Z! :)

There are just something about ducks...
Liv and I used to go to this park when she was a baby and we were both totally in love with the ducks.
Ducks Rock. It's nice to meet you Skeeter and I like your blog too. :)

Mrs. 4444, the answer is LOVE. It's not much of a mystery, but everyone can read about it on the dedications page of my novel, Glitterwater. Lord, I hope to get this thing in print ... soon!!!
That's beautiful baby. Absolutely beautiful. I had a mommy skunk with more than seven (lost count after seven!) babies at the park. What a hoot. There is nothing funnier than a baby skunk! I've lost them all in the fire, but the memory is so real. I miss them terribly.
Your duck and babies are beautiful, and as you know, I'm so glad your city is working to help ferals.
Love you,
Me
Of course I'm crying. What do expect?
