I have started taking walks down to the duck pond behind Mick and Beck's neighborhood. I am pretty sure this is where the ducks that used to visit me live because there are gazillions of them there along with blue and black water hens. The area is surrounded by gnarly, twisted gum trees that are eerily beautiful but what I love most is the weeping willows that bend over the pond which is chock o' block full of lily pads.
