What The Duck?


For some time now, a Home Depot retention pond has been home to a flock of Muscovy ducks. They aren't the most attractive creatures, but I had fun trying to make a good picture this afternoon. While driving to the Home Depot, I saw a few hundred pinwheels planted in front of North Florida Regional Medical Center.

I shot the quackers, called my editor to tell him I got some nice pictures, and returned to the hospital. When I first saw the colorful toys, some were spinning in the breeze and others were not. But then when I returned later in the afternoon, I had to wait a few minutes for the wind to return. Each pinwheel represented an abused child in Alachua County.
