One January Afternoon

The last few days have been rather gloomy, but before the gloom rolled in, we had a few days of sunshine, cool weather, and calm waters.  

 Just ask Richard...he found a rod and walked down to the catfish pond to kill a few minutes.  

 The ducks did a little fishing, too.  At least they caught a couple.

The trees are bare but really pretty.  When there's no wind, they stand like sentinels along the edges of the water.

 And no matter where the live ducks are, the decoys swim the pond waiting for their return.
