Location: following the Mill Stream from campus to the corner of Liberty and Trade St.
I am sitting facing a waterfall with my feet dangling over the edge. I see 5 places where water is dumping into the area. I am not sure where it is all coming from or where all of this water is going. There is a layer on top of the water of leaves, pines, pinecones, sticks, and some trash. There is a busy road next to me on the right and loud vehicles are passing by. I cannot hear a lot of them though because the waterfalls are so noisy. I see a ladder and a ramp type thing on a wall across from me. They seem like odd things to be there. There are 3 male mallards swimming around going back and forth on the water. Two have now flown up onto the sidewalk. They are just standing there looking around. The one duck is trying to fly but cannot seem to make it up onto the sidewalk. After trying multiple times and failing, he finally resorts to walking up a ramp on the side of the wall to get to the other ducks. This was so funny to watch because you could tell the duck that couldn’t fly was getting so frustrated.
