The Duck, part deux...

The natural companion for my previous post would be pictures of the ducks I did wind up seeing.  So, if a picture is worth 1,000 words, here's a quick 4,000 words or so on both that day, and the day when my son and I returned to NYC and found the Central Park mandarin, now nicknamed the Mandarin Patinkin (hello, my name is Indigo Montoya...).  All photos are by me.  If you're interested in purchasing one, let me know.

The Mandarin, also at The Pond

It's incredible what you can see if you just look.

Cheers.
