Those aren't flowers---those are fruity cocktail parasols!]<br /><br />Re the ducks: I see the mallard hens---where are the drakes? [Oh, I get it: two lesbian pairs! ;-D] I ask, because I took a hike by a local creek earlier this week, and there were 3 "couples": each a brownish hen (as picture), and a shiny green-backed drake.<br /><br />I may be creepy (and MP wouldn't approve)---but I always say there's nothing cuter than a mallard . . . except a Labrador fetching it! ;-pJCFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2174812066017196444.post-10286000318063824722010-10-14T22:40:00.165-05:002010-10-14T22:40:00.165-05:00Here's a link to some pictures of blooms. . .

Good to see the golden Millstone Grit with which Haley's Hotel is built. It was also the building stone of choice, though brick is far more common, on my side of the Pennines.Lapinbizarrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686990585795363001noreply@blogger.com
