Chillin’

Jo was home for a week’s vacation (timed to meet her brand new niece, Baylee). She lucked out to witness ice out. Even though she grew up observing this evidence of spring each year, it had been a few years since her last time. It was fun to hang out and ‘chill’.

I’m not sure why this ridge was formed in the ice. Perhaps the receding water levels below the frozen surface caused the sheet to buckle. There’s no room for the ice to shift as it hasn’t started to pull away from the shore yet.

The next day, it had collapsed.

“Now, look both ways before crossing…”

“Got an itch”

To my surprise, Mama Duck went straight off the highest point of the bridge. The ducklings hesitated briefly, then took the plunge.

“You’ve got to be kidding!”

Reunited.

There’s always one straggler.

“Wait for me!”
