A Runaway Duckling

You can just imagine my surprise to see this little duckling march across our front yard this week.   As Keith and I were sitting on our garden bench, talking and watching the hummingbird, this little runaway waddled right past us.  He was difficult to catch, but we interrupted his traveling plans and he spent the day underneath a laundry basket.   That evening, we took him to the home of a friend who has 10 ducks.  He came alive among the other ducks, who were terrified of him, and still are today.  The duckling has no idea the ducks are running away from him, and tries his best to keep up with them.    In the 16 plus years we have lived here at this address, he was the first runaway duckling.
