Hope you had as good a time as I did at your/our 40th reunion. More on that for another day.
A pristine, spectacular "good to be alive" sunrise along the Upper Hudson. Truly a "wow!"
(We met a "dad and lad" who Very Proudly shared a smart phone photo of a fish "lad" caught a few days ago. I couldn't believe it: this fish was about 1/3 the height/length of the kid, and had a huge mouth! We shared awe and Dad explained how much he loves the canal and river, and is passing that on to his son. Told a story of how many -- alas -- leave trash behind, so he brought a trash bag and they cleaned up cans and fishing line, etc. A very good example, not just for his son, but for us all. HEY, LET'S FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE AND CLEAN THE PCBs SO PEOPLE CAN ACTUALLY EAT THE FISH THEY CATCH?!)
We continued along on our walk and, right near where we saw two parent ducks, on Mothers Day, with offspring...and we saw what looked like the same family with ducklings 3 weeks older: adorable!
Must dash: last day to renew car inspection! But, in the rush of daily work, let's NOT FORGET to follow the "angler's example" and take care of Mother Nature...for ducks, fish, AND our own kids!
Cheers,
Dan
