ducks

Time: 1135-1155

Climate: Sunny, cool air, a bit breezy

Location: Mill Stream next to the Botanical Garden

So I love sitting at this one spot by the Mill Stream.  It is on a tree stump with a little bridge to my left and the Botanical Garden behind me.  Once again I am facing Matthews Hall and Belknap.  The water is up to its normal level again and I see ducks! I rarely see ducks here especially when there is a normal amount of water.  The water flows a bit faster here, and it is a bit noisier as a result.  I don’t usually see ducks here and I thought it was because there us faster louder water but today was different.  They were just relaxing and hanging out on the side of the stream.  They didn’t move much or make much noise.  After about 10 minutes they left their little area and flowed down the rover with the water.  They had been in the same spot for what seemed like a long time but then they left like it was nothing.  It was like they just let go of where they had been staying and just moved with the water.
