Stasia jumping for joy

One of my favorite places in the universe is the little beach club at Amos Lake, which is about 15 miles north of us. We've been going there for years, and when my granddaughter is visiting, there's almost no place she'd rather be than in the cool lake water. That's one request I'm always happy to oblige, since I feel exactly the same way. On this trip, after our swim, and after a cookout, we noticed that a small flock of mallards were working their way along the floats to the beach. Stasia figured that the best way to lure them close was to toss scraps of bread their way. When ordinary throws didn't do the trick, she got artistic. That's not a UFO at the top of the image: it's a piece of hamburger bun, gracefully arching its way toward a quartet of reticent waterfowl.
