bouncy ducks

I saw a few ducks walking on the melting lake today.

I thought at first, "Wait ducks! What if you fall through the thin ice??"

Then I realized that ducks can both experience the fear of falling through the ice and the joy in conquering that fall with their butts.

I waited to see if one of them would fall through the ice and into the water, only to bounce back onto their buoyant bottoms.

Unfortunately, no luck seeing this floating hilarity today. I'll try again tomorrow.
