Company of Friends

I tend to put the same songs up on my blogs year after year.  This one, like yesterday's, is like a prayer.  It's a whole belief system in one song.

A fine thing Mary

Love the ducks on the little `island`, and the water behind is beautiful. (:o)

I love the gathering of ducks on the little island taking in the sunshine smile
Mary MacADNski: They were pretty relaxed
They look content, no troubles in the sunshine.
Mary MacADNski: Content is the word. It was nap time in Duckville.

They look contented Mary..That is untill it all feezes.
Mary MacADNski: They stay here in this river in winter, moving around being chased by ice.

Birds of a feather.. as they say. It looks like those on the island are asleep... hmmm.. good idea!
Mary MacADNski: It is mid morning nap time. I had a rest then too.
Nice little island for them to perch on.
Mary MacADNski: There are lots of these little islands here and the ducks certainly take advantage of them. They let their floaters rest.
Awwww. Such a lovely light and atmosphere. My music system isn't working at the moment so couldn't listen
Mary MacADNski: Oh, sorry for your music system not working. Extra good music this week.
This reminds me of a game we used to play in Brownies and Beavers to help teach ecology. It involved the players finds land in a floor (or water in a drought) and as the game progressed found more and more children clinging together on ever diminishing islands (or puddles).
Mary MacADNski: Ha, I did Brownies and Beavers with my little ones too.
Looks like that Mallard has a harem!
Mary MacADNski: More like a lot of kids.
lovely shot Mary.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, derek. I love ducks.
