Duck Love

“Duck love is recognizable in any language.”
― Edmond Manning, King Perry

鸭 Yā "duck"
慈爱 Cí ài "love, tenderness"

A few of my Chinese students and I passed this family scene on our way from class today. Normally protective mom was surprisingly calm about our stopping to see her ducklings as they nestled together against the wind. I was able to get very close and sat there for a minute watching them, all the while all of them except one being intent upon keeping warm. :)
