I had a nice little stroll around the zoo today. At first, all was quiet. Strange, I thought, where is everyone? I mean, everyone in the duck family. Ah, the pond was frozen, and then I could understand why none of the duck folk were hanging around only to be teased by the echoing sounds of a fish found far below.
And then, I walked a little farther down the path and here’s what I saw:
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you the coolest place in town; the, “DUCK INN HERE” pond. Do note the exclusive pond jacuzzi, reserved for only those select few who have their “Mallard Money” on hand. A couple of swans joined the party; however, they must have sung a “Swan Song” to be invited to this duckly crew soiree.
Note: I’m sure most of you know this, but in case you don’t, please click on the pictures to see them in full view! It’s a great way to see the detail! 🙂

Thank you! Yes, those birds know how to shake it, don’t they? *LOL* I was so thrilled at the surprise, yes! It was rather disappointing when I didn’t see one single duck at the big pond; and then, there they all were! Thank you for your kind comments!! Cher xo

Thank YOU! Yes, the white swans performing “Swan Lake”! I love it! I think it is a wee bit cold for these beautiful creatures, bless them. The mallard ducks are striking; they have luminescent, green heads in contrast with their orange, webbed feet! Quite a marvelous sight! Cher xo
