I often go for walks around one of our nearby duck-filled lakes and, during the pandemic, I've noticed the popularity of these lakes has boomed. Moms and dads pushing strollers, families with kids biking or skating, joggers working up a sweat, people walking dogs of all sizes, couples strolling hand-in-hand. It's a communal "let's go outside and play" mindset. And haven't we all needed that this past year?! To me, these happy ducks epitomize that mindset as they play with joyful abandon. Their cheerful personalities make me smile every time I look at them :).
