Simple Joy: Hello Little Duck

I know you'd think that one of my simple joys is being with my family since yesterday was Thanksgiving. And really, it is a BIG simple joy to be with them. But I failed to take a picture while we were together so I'll go with the one I did take this week.

 

I was greeted by these ducks while waiting for my friend and her children to join me at a park at Lake Stevens for a quick photog session. I totally get that these little guys were demanding me to feed them. And the one looking up at me is only doing so because he got excited when I pulled my phone out of my camera bag. But for some reason it was nice to have them come running over to me like they were excited to see me. It reminded me the importance of being kind to anyone I come into contact with. To recognizing them with a smile on your face and say a quick, "hello", can bring a simple joy into their day.

 

Truth be told, these dudes ditched me as soon as they realized I didn't have food and they spotted someone else walking along the beach. :-)
