An Unexpected Morning Visitor

You never know what a new day will bring, even during a routine as mundane as taking out the trash. This morning, I was greeted by a surprise visitor in the front yard. A duck, looking perfectly content, was just hanging out on the lawn.

A surprise visitor in the front yard,
likely on a short field trip from the Lakewood Gulch.

We're just across the street from the Lakewood Gulch, so I imagine she was taking a short break from the busy spring thaw to explore the sights of the neighborhood. It’s always a treat to see the local wildlife venture out—a pleasant reminder of the nature that surrounds us even here in the city.

Wherever you are this morning, I hope the road brings you unexpected visitors.
