a couple in the park

 leave the duck pond behind. The ducks were making an unusual noise this morning. They were all quacking loudly, all in the water of the pond, it was lie some kind of contest. Other birds started as well, geese honking, peacocks calling, and a crowd of birds hidden in a bush twittereng. The cock started making noises as well, not really crowing, but a sort of rhythmic clucking. 


Leave the birds to their symphony. It may have had something to do with morning feeding time, it may just have been 

spontaneous.


The park is quiet, there are groups of people walking, mainly in pairs, older people mainly. A woman passes,  walks ahead. The path ahead leaves the shade of the trees, there is a grassy patch there brighter in the grey light, she is a silhouette there for a few minutes.


a nice picture.

Well why not. Just wait, there will be more people passing. A couple approach, let them pass. Let them wander on, untill their silhouttes are clearly picked out against the green grass.

Take the picture.

A voice from behind says well done, a nice picture. 

Do not know what to reply.
