It's been raining all day today. The ground is so sodden that puddles have formed on the grass and the yard by the driveway has taken on the look of a marsh. Some might say it's the kind of weather only a duck would like(actually, it seems a bit cold for them), which reminded me that I had some duck pics I wanted to share.
          
   A couple weeks ago in mid-October I went to a nearby park & duck pond. The Canada geese that alos frequent the place was over by the baseball diamond, but there was plenty of mallards swimming around. There used to be some huge koi in the water, but I didn't see any this time. Perhaps they were farther out in the deeper part?
    The trees hadn't changed much, except for some blazing sugar maples, but it was still pretty. Since it was mid-afternoon, there wasn't many people around, so it was quiet and peaceful. Well, except for the occasional quack.
