Duck crossing

Lily and I were on our way to Safeway yesterday, typical weekday activity, when there seemed to be a little confusion going on at the intersection of Philomath Blvd and 53rd street. There was a man outside of his car who was acting a little flustered and running around in said intersection. Upon further examination, we saw that this kind man was assisting a wayward mother duck, and her brood across the busy road. How nice is that? We caught a glimpse of the mama and her 11 (!) ducklings as they ran across the sidewalk and into the tall grass.

It was one of those sweet moments that we rarely witness, of the goodness of people. It made my day.
