Just Ducky

For today's run, I repeated last week's run to Hermann Park to see the ducks, taking my camera this time.













It was a warm day, but it's never too early to start building my summer heat tolerance. Of course, these guys had the perfect solution for staying cool.














Nothing like a duck run on a spring afternoon!

Great pics!

Most of my runs could be described as "duck runs" too, but more because of my slow waddley pace than the accompanying waterfowl.

Cool duck photos! We don't see ducks like that here - any idea what they are called? We have mallards here.

Great pics! It's great to have so much awesome scenery for your runs!

Yes, agreed .. looks like some scenic routes! Clearly you are not one of those obsessed runners who can't even stop to smell the ducks!

Love the photos. I'm especially taken with the duck ready to land.

What great pics! Ducks are very sensible when it comes to staying cool. :)

Hiking is getting warmer and warmer, too! I'm glad it's cooler, the higher one goes up in the mountains!
