Ducks in a row

ducklings crossing a major street

2020-04-15

Out for a walk, and found a mama duck and babies. This is Crow Canyon Road, a major surface street.  Before COVID-19 there would be heavy traffic. But the Samaritan here stopped and shooed them across, and I was able to walk across the road to the center divide to get a picture.

Just around the bend here, on Feb 24, less than two months ago, a 12 year old girl was killed by a hit and run driver.  There is a makeshift memorial just out of view.

This was the date the Alameda County “Shelter in Place” order came into effect.  I thought the situation was potentially serious, but this was the first indication that people in government were actually spooked.

I made a light commitment to take photos every day, mostly walking around the neighborhood.  I’ll post some of those pictures over the next few days.
