Desolate

It snowed heavily today and I decided that when I went to my cousin's I would stop by the pool to try for a blip.

As soon as I approached the wall of the 'bridge' mallard ducks appeared from behind a bush! I later saw, jutting out under the 'bridge', a small area of water which had not frozen. The ducks had been swimming there.

I felt guilty at having left the bread intended for them at home, so I went back to my cousin's wife to beg for food! Armed with wild bird seed and peanuts, I headed back to the pool and fed the hungry ducks, and a few gulls who spotted the chance for a snack!

the ducks look good large.
