...And Now You Don't

This was taken immediately after the "Now You See Us" shot.
Towards the end of our watching on the tidal marshes this mama duck appears from out of the smooth cordgrass with her large brood of ducklings. As we watched she led them across a good 150 yards of marsh, slipping in and out of view. Often we could see nothing of the ducks at all, then mama would poke her head above the grass and look about. A few moments later we would spy them crossing an open channel or glimpse a peek of them edging along an open patch of water. They continued to melt in and out of the grass until we lost sight of them on the far side of the marsh.
A complete write-up of our adventure is on my website Eclectic Echoes.

BACKSTORY: After the Descendents concert, we were hanging out in the parking lot waiting for it to clear out a bit before heading to the next venue for the ALL concert. Some poor girl asked us if we had jumper cables, and of course we did. She was very grateful and said, "You are like the 50th person we asked!" (What's with people not carrying jumper cables anymore? You sad, unprepared fucks!)
Anyway, while Clint was helping them, he found a frog in the parking lot. Ok, actually a toad, but still. ALL has a song called Frog, and they talk about catching a frog, and the difficulties of trying to sell it. And now we had a frog! What are the odds. Clint tried to sell the frog, but nobody wanted to buy it, as predicted by the song. The frog in the song is named Oscar, so naturally, this frog's name is now Oscar.
Oscar had an eventful evening that night. He went from the parking lot at the Festival Pier in Philadelphia to a parking garage at the next venue, spent a night in New Jersey, came back to Virginia, met our kitties, and now lives in our back yardwhere he has a lot of space and a creek... And no parking lots or boats mosh pits.
