Blog Post #6760, Random-osity


The Good: These cute ducklings have joined our neighborhood. This morning they were blocking the only road out. Frank banged on the car door to get them to leave but they paid no attention. Mama Duck stood up but would not leave them alone in the road.

I got out of the car, cell phone in hand, pausing to take pictures as I moved closer to urge them to move. I did not want to leave them where someone might run over them. When I got close, they finally got up and their mother led them back to the pond.

The Random: Originally an advertisement, this sign in Culpeper has been repainted and preserved as public art and nostalgia.
Monday Murals.
The Fun: I met Peggy and Bill at a music event on Saturday. They were in Virginia very briefly on their way northward.

  1. Linda - a unique collage - I like it! Don't you wonder what those ducklings were thinking? Maybe their little legs were tired! Thanks for linking to Mosaic Monday!

  2. Duckies seem to like the middle of roads, I wonder why. Thanks for getting them back to safety.

  3. I love those kinds of nostalgic advertisements. We have a cool faded ad on an old building near where I work. If only these ads could be restored. Maybe one day. Loved the ducklings, also. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  4. Lovely the duckies, glad you got them back to safety.
    I like the antique looking mural, thanks for participating Linda. Not sure what the problem could be with uploading the mural photo, you seem to have been the only one that had trouble.

    1. I think my connection was slow. I had a problem making a comment on another site, so I suspect my ISP was overloaded.

  6. Such lovely little guys- ducklings! I guess they sensed you all weren't really of danger to them...now I bet they'd be off in a flash if a raccoon came along!
