Night blooming Evening Primrose...and ducks

 

Mr. Mallard woke up when I came down the hill to get closer photos of the flowers, which were still a-bloom at 10 am!

I think I knew this one, oak leaved Hydrangia!

The night blooming (Primroses) yellow flowers were near where the ducks like to sleep after breakfast.

I was going to get down really close, but then I realized I was disturbing duck naps.

Today's quote:

From time to time I feel the moment for travel has come.

Farewell as you go beyond the veil. 

On the day of leaving, cast a veil
of humble sunset-glaze.
Let the time to leave
be quiet, still. Let no pompous memorials
build the hypnosis of grieving.
Let the lines of trees by the departure door
bestow the tranquil chanting of earth
on quiet heaps of leaves.
Let night’s soundless blessing slowly descend,
iridescent offerings of the seven stars. 

Tagore

More foggy lake

 Night blooming flowers (Evening Primrose?) don't know that 8 am is daytime yet.

 You can barely see the fountain in the center of Lake Tomahawk

 The spillway is the meeting place between sharp vegetation, a tree stump, and the foggy waters.

 A mother Mallard brought her ducklings across the waters.
