Ducks Don't Get Wet!


Growing up one of my favorite books was called Ducks Don't Get Wet! It discussed how ducks can't get wet because of the oils on their feathers. They will spend hours preening themselves spreading that oil. And as we know oil and water don't mix so when ducks swim the water slides right off their backs. I've always had a fascinations with Ducks.

So on May 16th, the day we DID NOT go to the Air Show, Mel and I wandered around DC and found our way to the Constitution Garden and there we saw...





DUCKS! And lots of them!





Aren't they CUTE!?





The daddy duck...or at least one of them :)


We watched this momma duck attach and chase off at least 3 squirrels





Don't mess with momma!
