Rush hour on Shikoku Island!

I am almost home to North Pole, Alaska now, -or at least I'm back in the neighborhood, am in San Francisco today.

This is a shot of ducks wintering on Shikoku.

Me, I didn't winter there but I did spend a fine month and a bit, away from Alaska winter extending my autumn season.

If these ducks could talk I'm sure they'd express the same thoughts and emotions I felt: Good food, good company, beautiful country, It's all good!!!
