Lilo, your words and the lovely picture are a real treat. Makes one think that Spring may be here, eventually.

Those are great, both the Haiku and photo.
Could be some ducklings later in spring, keep your camera handy and your thinking cap on.

WG, it would be fun if they were to hatch some ducklings right here, but I doubt it, they are wild ducks and have their breeding grounds, too many predators here

Love both, and may the ducks have ducklings wherever they are safe.

Glad the pond is back to working order and the ducks can make the stop to visit.
