My Beloved, our local grandchildren, and I took advantage of perfect weather to see some sights at our local Japanese Friendship garden. It was a relaxing and quiet adventure.
Riley was so enchanted by the many huge multi-colored Koi that I startled her when I called her name to take her photo. She recovered quickly and smiled.
A lone mallard hen was getting a lot of attention from four males. That’s a recipe for at least three unhappy males. I believe the stern look in the above photo makes clear what this male thinks of the situation.
May your days be filled with blessings.
Love,
Russ

Thank you, Joanne.
How wonderful. So great you live near some grandchildren, Tiley has a lovely smile. I remember when she was born. How time flies.
Have a beautiful day, Russ.
Thank you, Ute. It sure does. May your day be filled with beauty, too, Ute.
I love that smile – and the photo of the lone mallard hen. Beautiful! So glad you’re enjoying the sunshine and the beautiful Japanese garden. ❤
Thank you, Jan.
