A duckling finds its way
I want to tell you the story of a duckling I saw the other day. There was nothing particularly remarkable about it, but it was very cute. It was walking along a concrete structure with its parent, then wasn’t able to follow said parent into the water. It ran back and forth cheeping with increasing distress, before eventually finding its way into the lake to the cheers of the human onlookers.
And that’s just one of many animal encounters I’ve had in the last week alone - some with other humans about, some by myself.
New life
Here in Australia it’s the last day of spring - traditionally a time of new life. So I wanted to share pictures of some of the younglings I’ve seen in the last couple of months, as well as some reflections on what new life means to me. There are a lot of ducklings, but don’t be alarmed - other birds and animals get a look in too.
