Driving on Rocky Neck the other day, these ducks caught my eye, finding the only space with water instead of ice.  Take a look at the name of the boat, The Endurance.  Very appropriate.

Very unusual formation of ice on Rocky Neck

Walking through the Coolidge Reservation and around Clarke Pond is always interesting and fun especially at this time of the year.  There were many ducks and birds enjoying their environment.  To find out more information on the Coolidge Reservation please click on the following link.
