Ducks in the Rain

January 23

I am thankful for ducks in the rain. My daughter and I were driving around City Park Lake (the same day as the photo of the I-10 overpass in the rain as seen on the January 22nd blog), and found these ducks. They were very interesting to watch in the rain. Beth asked me why it didn't seem like they minded the rain, and I said it was because they naturally love water. But as I watched them carefully, they weren't acting quite as free as when the weather was clear. In fact, the rain was nearly freezing cold and that may have been the reason why. In any regard, I enjoyed watching them and I think the blurriness contributed a mood to this photo, which was taken through the wet front windshield of my car.
