Ripples on lake

There's still a little bit of ice on the lake.

I took a walk around it because it is so warm. The wind was blowing northerly, and two ducks, a mallard pair, were swimming southerly. The way the ripples on the water were formed by the wind, the way the ducks were swimming and their bodies were going up and down on the waves, making slow progress, it brought back a memory of Horseshoe Lake, childhood vacations. If you change the ducks to gulls, it was a memory of all the beaches I've lived near.
