I was down and out and decided to cheer myself up with a bike ride along a beautiful path that takes me all around the lake. On the path I got to see two love birds, mates for life, doing their thing on the pond that is adjacent to the lake. I picked up some litter that thoughtless visitors left behind. We all have to do out share to keep the park free from litterbugs. It was a fun time. I enjoyed photographing the two ducks and I don't think they minded being the center of my attention this afternoon. It helped to put my troubles aside and just enjoy a couple who didn't need anything money or shelter to survive. They were an inspiration to this California native.
