Make Way for Ducklings 為鴨子開路

While visiting the Boston Public Garden in the fall of 2014, this little girl was riding on the statue of the mother duck and a row of 7 baby ducks walking behind her.  The sunlight shining on her face was so beautiful.  I snapped a quick shot with my I-pad.  Here is the painting to depict the lovely scene of Boston.  You can find these lovely bronze sculptures by Beacon St and Charles St in Boston.  They were created by artist Nancy Schons.

Then I found out more story about these ducklings.  "Make Way for Ducklings" is a popular children book authored by Robert McCloskey.  The story is about Mrs. Mallard was sure the pond in Boston Public Garden would be a perfect place for her 8 ducklings to live.  The problem was how to make way to get there from the busy Boston streets.  She then got help from the Boston Police to safely transport these ducklings to the garden pond.  What a lovely story.
