I spotted these two oblivious beauties in the Christian Science Plaza reflecting pool, while walking last night from work to the Symphony Whole Foods Market.I wasn't the only one taken with them. I heard a few other people remarking on the drowsy birds, and another passerby was also taking snapshots, which I hope came out better than these ones taken with my crappy phone!
I could be wrong, but I believe fowl are a rarity in the reflecting pool — at least, I can't recall having seen any there before. I'm sure some would say they're a nuisance, but I thought they enhanced the area greatly.
Thinking about the Christian Science Plaza reminds me of an afternoon several years ago when I agreed to take a new job while walking past the reflecting pool. I had been interviewing with this company for a while, and they just happened to phone me while I was walking through the area. It was a job I was excited to get, so it is a good memory — it ranks right up there with these ducks.
