Duelling Ducks

Up early to catch a sunrise that never amounted to anything, the light today was dull and nothing really looked alive.

Whilst watching the ducks my son was feeding, two drakes decided to fight - over territory, bread, a hen - who knows!! They were chasing each other round in a circle so fast, each trying to bite the others tail feathers that all you could see was bubbling water.

Mr Lovely and I snapped away trying to catch the action, most of which turned out a complete blurred mess, though this picture caught a glimpse of the ducks in action.

Mr Lovely had a couple of clear pictures, but as he is such a gentleman in everyway, he chose a different picture to post today.


People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.
The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.
What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.
People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.”
