rock in the morning sun
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: rock.
One of my favorite early morning rocks, in Ontario, Canada.
The mergansers like it too.
pair
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: partners.
My plumbing, from the 1930s, backed up yesterday. I pay for emergency service, but they came four hours after I called. I did damage control and then really wanted a shower. My boat is docked at the port, so I went and used the port showers. Whew. That felt better. Plumbing is fixed, hooray.
This pair were swimming in the port when I got there. Snapped with my cell phone. I think they are Barrow’s goldeneye or Common goldeneye ducks. Small diving ducks. They headed away quickly when they realized I was watching.
sky ducks
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: duck.
This photo disorients me. The ducks are in the sky, in the clouds, but wait. A duck can’t be in the sky with it’s neck curved like that. Or can it?
ducking
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: duck.

flirt
Here is a Ruddy Duck, in the midst of a display. There were two males, with the fabulous blue beaks, and two more subtle females. This male was pursuing one of the females. She kept escaping and went near the other male and female. Safety first.
music, words, cat, duck
Normal chaos, 2010.
For the Daily Prompt: wrinkle.
Unstaged, messy, daily life is wrinkled and joyous and unpredictable.
putter
We went to take photographs in the morning at Kai Tai Lagoon. We started at one end and walked to the other. There was a large distant flock of ducks, very quiet. When we got close enough for my zoom to handle, we found out why: most of them were asleep. In the early morning and gorgeous sun yesterday.
I want a day of puttering and napping and meandering, like these ducks.
For the Daily Prompt: meander.
conversant with ducks
For the Daily Prompt: conversant.
