Autumnal Ducks

Here's another autumnal chronicle inspired by a photo I had to share. This picture. It was taken by my cousin Amy, who is a great photograph. She of course gave me permission for it. She took it last weekend. If the apple is the fruit of autumn, I consider the duck to be the bird of autumn. All right, the season can be associated with many other birds, if one thinks of Halloween especially, but autumn also means birds migration and thus, well, ducks. And geese, I guess you could put them ex aequo with ducks as autumnal birds. But in any case, there is just something about the sight of ducks in autumn, whether they are flying or just paddling in the water like here.
