A former boss of mine always talked about having his ducks in a row. This shot reminds me of him. It didn't turn out quite like I imagined, but you get the idea. If ever anyone needs to get their urns in a row, here's the model.
Three mallards and sixteen urns. Château de Chenonceau. March 2006.
We had a burst of energy yesterday and did what I'll call some early spring cleaning. It was basically just housework, including dusting, vacuuming, emptying drawers, and eliminating piles of papers and magazines. There is much more ahead of us when spring comes and we can open windows, but it felt good to get a start.
That's a rather good photo.
ReplyDeleteThat's a very English expression often heard Walt. Maybe from vintage shooting galleries in the states? 😀
ReplyDeleteI love the photo. Great eye. SG once said, “Make sure to keep all your ducks covered.”
ReplyDeleteYou've caught the trees about to blossom. That's happening here now. Wish I had the will to clean out my drawers and get my ducks in a row, house-wise.
ReplyDeleteLots of good lines captured in this picture.
