Ugly duckling(s)…I think

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Mike and I found this pretty cool place in Santa Clarita awhile back called the Bridgeport Marketplace.  Located across the street from Bridgeport itself, this place boasts its own Kabuki, Red Mango (awesome), Bristol Farms, future CPK, and a cesspool of dark water that would make the liquid in Dark Water look like it had been through a Britta filter (more awesome).

A few days ago, however, the water was sparkling blue (Clean? Dyed, perhaps?  Just kidding) and various water fowl were floating/walking around.  That’s when I spotted them:

I’m not sure if it was a family of Canadian geese with a random female duck tagging along or whether it was the duck who had the Canadian geese following her and her ducklings (baby geese?).  Either way, they all stayed close to each other and eyed us suspiciously.  I couldn’t blame them.  Most living beings eye us suspiciously… ;)

They may look a bit strange now, but they’ll grow up to be some good looking birds someday, whatever they may be.  Maybe next time, I’ll bring them some food.  Then, maybe, we could be friends…maybe.  If these are baby geese, they’ll grow up to be good looking…and greedy…and snappy.  Kind of like when children grow into adults, huh?  Just kidding…maybe.
