River Walk June, 2014


Beach Iris


Duck Egg


Beach Gear


Fire Kindling

Yesterday I took my annual spring walk along the Allegheny River.  The requisite afternoon fishermen and lunching couples were there enjoying the beautiful weather with me.

"Duck Egg" was a total surprise to me.  I scared off a mallard couple and found this where they had been standing by the river's edge.  There was no nest nearby, yet there was a similar egg about 3 feet away.  Has anyone else experienced this with mallards?

"Fire Kindling" is time appropriate as last days abound and graduation parties are heard from afar.  It reminded me of the childhood ditty sung on the bus on the last day of the elementary school year, "No more pencils, no more books, no more teachers' dirty looks!"  (Please, no offense to my teacher friends.)  But, it also has traces of, "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" and Fahrenheit 451.
