This Wild mural by Deedidit and unique collage painting were on view at Nomad Furniture Gallery in Ajijic. Wish I knew someone to give the duck/ducks to…but it’s too big for mailing anyway!!! (Sorry, I don’t know who did the Duckie Collage. Perhaps her, perhaps someone else.)

Many birds, but all seen on Nov 28 on a trip out to Scorpion Island in Lake Chapala.
For the Birds of the Week prompt
Click on photos to enlarge. Especially the first one!
Cee’s prompt was Real Vs. Fake. Hmm..which one is real? Big duck or little duck? Stuffed duck or wood duck? Sometimes it is hard to tell.
Okay, I cheated a bit. Just no real doves or darters in my photo files. I made these detritus birds out of shells and a fruit crate that washed ashore during past years at the beach. Keeps me out of trouble.
For the Bird Weekly Challenge
Dux was disappointed in my choice of birds yesterday, so here is a Duck all for him..well, and the rest of you, too.
For Granny’s Bird of the Day prompt.

A Diet Most Fowl
My Dad’s one foolproof diet that he used to quote to us
entailed no calorie counting, no planning, mess or fuss.
He said, “It’s very simple. Put just one thing in your mouth.
Merely eat the north end of a duck that’s flying south!
The Daily Inkling prompt today was to create a fail proof diet.

It was Duckie’s niece Hummie who first christened him “Duck,” when she was too little to pronounce “Doug.” I complicated the matter by calling him Duckie and since then, Ducks seem to have flocked into his life. From me, from our friends Gloria, Patty and Judy (posthumously) from another friend Nancy and from his friend Ann. Now, as you can see, he is being kept busy keeping his ducks in a row. You might recognize Little Duck of past blogging fame in this lineup.
I love what a duck does to the water that surrounds it. According to their movements, they sculpt it, setting up patterns and movements that make a lake a giant canvas for ducks. This duck paddled quickly all the way from one shore of the Guanajuato reservoir to to the other, hoping for a handout, no doubt. Sadly, I had nothing for it, and look at the wonderful photos it gave to me!
From Giant Rubber Duckies and dolphins to drones. From big cars to toy trucks, boats to front-end loaders, horses to wings, everything in the world has a way to move itself around.
For the Wit’s End Challenge: Transportation.
