It looks like you had a delightful time here Sherry. Did you tour the Alamo? I was so shocked when I saw how small it was the first time I saw it. So much history in such a small place. When we went in it seem like hallowed ground. Quiet, cool. Everyone was very respectful.
I can see your admiration in your baby duck photos. They are such good likenesses.
I also have a fondness for baby ducks. They are so soft and fluffy and sweet.
I am glad you had a good time.
What a nice place to visit!
That duck is sooo cute :)
Wish I could've walked along!
so nice to get away and have such a great time. love the reflection of the baby duck.
It looks like a beautiful place to spend time.....I love to be near water, I always find it very calming.....
Ducklings are so cute....we had eight in the garden last year.....I think they all survived, which was lovely.....
Isn't it so good to see butterflies this time of year......if only.......
