Tonight's 365 photo is a snapshot of a mallard that I was able to take the other day. It's funny whenever I see these beautiful animals because I immediately think back to the wooden, carved ducks that my dad collected and how they lined up across the mantle behind the woodstove in our family home in Eastwinds. I remember checking out different ducks at wildlife shows, flea markets and art exhibits. While considered an "outdoorsy art", meeting the carvers and artisans who create these pieces at various venues, I came to quickly appreciate them as a true labor of love and fine, detailed art. Those silly ducks from my youth certainly hold a fond memory. It's funny what triggers them, huh?
