These ducks came by behind the condos yesterday. I thought about Chuck(107) being in North Carolina. He and his dogs would have been excited. I counted over twenty ducks as they swam and ducked under the water. They were much larger than they appear in the picture because when I stepped onto the deck to take the picture, they started to swim away and I couldn't wait for them to get any closer. They looked like mallards to me, but I'm no duck expert. They were probably red heads. I have never seen so many large ducks this close to the condos.

This ever changing small piece of real estate fascinates me. Maybe you could tell from the number of photos that I have posted of it. Just a few weeks ago the area was washed out and the water was lapping at the grassy area and threatening our concrete. We had some winds from just the right direction along with a high tide and tons of oyster shell were deposited. I guess sometimes the water takes away and sometimes it puts back.
