This little wood duck duckling got separated from its family. It got under the fence around a fish pond at the Columbia Springs hatchery, and must have fallen in and not been able to get out. It's not in dire straights, however. There are a couple of logs it can climb onto in the middle of the pond, and it was actively feeding on duckweed and catching little flying insects (I'd never seen a duck do that before). There is netting above it to keep predatory birds like herons from getting the fish that will also keep this little one protected. The good folks at the hatchery know it's there, and I suppose they will try to locate the mother and reunite the family. But it's not in distress. Vancouver, Washington. Addendum: I have been told this is not a mallard duckling, but rather a Wood Duck duckling. Thanks to [https://www.flickr.com/photos/29366805@N07]
From a while back at National Gallery, where the afternoon light casts some pretty interesting pattern on the floor.
This vessel, built in 1940 in Chioggia, is the only remaining specimen of the bardana from Chioggia. In use until 1961, this craft was employed in the lagoon, utilizing special netting also called “bargagna” (unpreserved) that permitted the boat to trawl bragagne could cruise almost the entirety of the vast lagoon areas called “Palui”, where the water rarely exceeded one metre in depth on the normal tide. Its two crew members were often away from home for several weeks, living on board and sleeping in the compartment under the bow, fishing throughout the lagoon and selling fish in the Rialto.

Always photographically interesting stuff on the quayside, floats and nets...
Small floats were usually made of cork, but fishermen in places where cork was not available used other materials, like birch bark in Finland and Russia, as well as the pneumatophores of Sonneratia caseolaris in Southeast Asia.
These materials have now largely been replaced by plastic foam.
Glass floats were large glass balls for long oceanic nets, now substituted by hard plastic.
They are used not only to keep fishing nets afloat, but also for drop-line and longline fishing. Often larger floats have marker flags for easier spotting.
These looked to me like the sweets on a bracelet or necklace??? LOL

One of those 'I'm not sure why I like it' shots. A tiny model boat that sits on our bathroom windowsill.
On a foggy night, mist collects on a fine spider web.

These figs are from mum & dad's garden. Dad had wanted to cut the fig tree down, but he changed his mind once it started bearing fruit.
They have to cover it with some sort of netting ,though, to prevent the birds from eating them all. I too share the same appetite for the sweet flesh, but what I really like is to sit under the tree - its smell always reminds me of our summer holidays on the coast of the Adriatic.
