Baby Ducks!

[sepdet]

There are many, many, many baby ducks. As soon as I can find my camera adapter, I shall post fuzzball pictures.

My aunt came up on the train today-- there is a train station a few miles away-- and we went to investigate a restaurant on a lake in the neighborhood. The lake is pretty. It is full of baby ducks and MONSTER KOI that are (literally) the size of one to two adult mallards.

As a member of this neighborhood, I may take canoes, paddleboats, small saiboats, or rowboats out on the lake! Some of the paddleboats are bicycles on double pontoons, so I may bike to the lake and then bike ON the lake. There are also sailing classes.

And there's an eerily realistic-looking artificial beach with a separate lagoon, kept shallow for safety and warmth.

The lake has a very small island in the middle of it with a few trees and a cozy bench.

I am very tired from walking halfway around the lake.

Baby ducks are so cute! We've got a load of baby goslings on our lake - they were tiny balls of fluff a few weeks ago, but I saw a huge convoy of them today and they've gotten so big already...but they're still fuzzy :D

Also a squirrel tried to eat my phone yesterday, which was quite fun.

Having a nearby lake to wander around and go "oooh, cute fluffy things!" is an important part of a happy life :)

omg I'm so jealous! that sounds so neat and beautiful! there's a park here in the city that has ducks, geese, and lots of pigeons... and people can fish there but it is more of a pond than a "lake". No boats though :(
