Months ago, I photographed a Mother Duck and her thirteen ducklings in the fountain adjacent to the de Young Museum.... I often think of them when I am volunteering and hope that all of them survived to become adults...
Yesterday, I was thrilled to see a pair of Ducks (not knowing if the female was "My Mother Duck") swimming about and feeding (with feathery "butts" upturned) in the fountain. No babies, of course, as Autumn is gently approaching....
You have to look closely to see the "duck butts".....
I also snapped a photo of one of the beautiful Lotus flowers that encircle the fountain.
Although we in San Francisco have virtually had no Spring or Summer, I welcome the advent of Autumn, my favourite time of the year. I feel myself moving into a gentle, "floating" phase of life - after months of emotional pain....I am slowly learning to accept life as it comes. I am learning to feel happiness and joy again.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
Nothing is cuter than a mother duck with her ducklings in tow... Keep us posted on their lives!
ReplyDeleteHello darling, stopping by, still too weak to even write much but I wanted to leave a handful of hugs and much love to you. This too shall pass and I will be back to my normal routine. Miss our chats and I hope this Autumn will bring much color and happiness to you.
ReplyDeleteI love starting my day with duck butts ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos little sista. I'm welcoming autumn for the same reasons. And I know you're healing and getting stronger. I feel it and see it each day.
love you,
Lo♥
so sweet, the ducks (love when they do that upside down thing!)and your words of healing and happiness.
ReplyDeleteit's confusing to be welcoming autumn without saying goodbye to summer, which like you, never came this year. ah well, perhaps it will be a BEAUTIFUL fall then! onwards and upwards!
love,
lori
beautiful lotus flowers. and fun to see the duckies. so good to hear you are feeling some movement within, healing happening. to learn to accept life as it comes, that is a wonderful thing for sure. enjoy the fall. love,suki

Mary-Laure, no ducklings at this time....just the two adults....but I agree, when there are fluffy babies around, it's so adorable!

Lori, my dear fellow "California Girl"....yes, only WE know that Mother Nature "stole" Spring and Summer from us this year.....but, let's hope we get a GLORIOUS Autumn in return.
ReplyDeleteYes....."onwards and upwards" - most definitely!
Hugs to you and Owen!
