Friar Tuck the Duck

I arrived at the Sacred Heart Monastery in Cullman, AL in plenty of time to check in, get settled, and take a stroll on the beautiful grounds before the first session of my retreat began. This little guy was all alone on the pond, and came out of the water to greet me when I approached.

He is the fattest duck you'd ever want to meet, and the way he waddled up, obviously expecting a treat, reminded me of some of the depictions I've seen of Robin Hood's Friar Tuck (which I thought fitting - he is the monastery duck).

Once he realized I was not the bearer of duck treats, he quickly became bored and went back to the water in search of his waterbugs and tadpoles.
