Checking for Ducks

This morning, we went to pick up vegetables at Langley Farm Market. We generally do so on Thursdays, but just one week from today we're scheduled for a short 5-night cruise on the MS Noordam. Jay figured it'd be better to buy a few things today. Next, when driving home, we stopped at the uptown London Drugs. I picked up something. Lastly, as we came back down the hill, I thought we should pull in by city hall. I parked so we could walk through Tipperary Park and see if any wild ducks were about. In the past, many families of ducklings learned to swim in the uncovered stream that flows through the area. Last year, for some reason, I didn't see a single family of water birds. As it is a bit early, it's hard to tell what the situation will be this summer.

This picture shows the stepping stones across one section of the stream. Due to the the time of year, the water flow is a little more than it'll be later in the summer.
