Duck Story Vase
My mom and I were on a walk. A mallard and his mate were swimming in the ditch, dodging in and out of the broken rushes, trying to stay ahead of us. But we were coming too quickly, so they got out and climbed up the far bank on their stubby legs. My mom was worried they would waddle out into traffic, so we went around the water, up the far side to the road, and started walking back toward them to shoo them into the ditch again. When they saw us coming, they decided enough was enough and flew off. Height: 7 1/4 inches |
Cardinal in the Stag-horn Sumac
I was walking along a nature trail with my dad, and a ways down the path I saw a cardinal fly up into the tall bushes and trees on the side. As we got closer, I was searching for it. Then suddenly the bushes came into view with hundreds of red things perched in them. Amazement rose up, and then I laughed. It was stag-horn sumac. Height: 7 inches |
