Ducks.....

  Our family physician, AKA: GP, is in the Georgetown Medical Center building on the south side of town.  Between the Medical Center building and its neighbor to the north, they have a duck pond and water feature.

  Today on one of our many visits we noticed the ducks had a brood of little ones.  There appears to be 8 total.  Seven of them were following a couple around in the pond and finding bugs or something along the edge, insects I would assume. 

  One of the little fellows was on land following another pair of adults.  He did not appear to be injured so maybe he just was not as confident in the water as the others. 

  Oh, the large lead duck was very protective.  As I approached, he would get between me and the smaller one and the little one and look me in the eye and start talking to me.  Pretty clear what he was saying too.
 

  These trees they are under, are these some type of Wisteria?
