Saturday Snapshot

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken then leave a direct link to your post on Alyce's blog At Home With Books. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. how much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.

These pictures come from a while back. After a week of super heavy rainfall up at school, we finally had a nice sunny, rainless day the second to last week we were there. Even though it was April, it was warm and some friends and I decided to make use of the canoes the school has to explore the river. This is a tree that is normally up on dry ground when it hasn't been raining buckets.

Along the way we came across four little ducklings who had escaped from their owners, freshmen who had decided that ducklings were good dorm pets. The other kids had brought them out on the water, but the pull of their natural habitat was too much for the babies and so they jumped ship. We rounded them up and took them back to shore to the worried parents, one of them was my co-captain and sat next to me quacking happily along the whole way back.

This is my little duckling  buddy. We called him Billy after a duckling character  from the musical HONK!
