An image of one male mallard who beat some stiff odds to make it to this point...and appears to be taking some time here to celebrate it - The Model Sailboat Pond Another face that always brings an inner smile to me - The MSB Pond This little sparrow played hide and seek with me in a hedge at Azalea Pond Also at Azalea Pond Inside Azalea Pond I took a long walk through The Ramble this afternoon and looked at other friends of the park to distract from the anxiety at The Conservatory Water. I longed to get a call telling me to rush back to the pond, but I received no such call. Pale Male perched in the path of a steady breeze. All images above photographed on Sunday April 16, 2006
