1887. far out


mallard ducks
out for a swim in the chilly creek
shivering🥶

it wasn’t them, it was me🥶
shoving my hands deeper

 


It always amazes me how ducks stay warm and dry in water, on water, under water! These ducks were in the Wissahican Creek. In Cape May recently, Dan and I saw a duck deep-sea diving. We watched it float along on top of the ocean, then disappear down under waves briefly before popping up again 15 or 20 yards away. Again and again we watched this routine until it floated way, way off beyond the sea. Far out.
