At Nathan Benderson Park West Lake

 

 

They have been camped out at the West Lake for about three weeks. I have no idea of their breed -  Noel A B will know.

This indicates that they are somewhat dependent on humans for food.   I hope that nitwits are not scattering bits of bread.  Horrid for all ducks.

When the body that lived at your single will, With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!). When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone—wherever it goes—for good, You will discover how much you care, And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We’ve sorrow enough in the n...
