Ducks and leaves

It's pretty awful outside.  We had some snow on the ground this morning, but since then the snow has been falling as big wet flakes or just plain old rain, and it's all washed away.  Still, it's real misty out and wet and cold and blech.

The oldsquaw (aka long-tailed) ducks are still hanging around and collecting in larger numbers.

They're diving ducks, so they're fun to watch.

The trees are getting more bare day by day, but at least the ground is covered in colorful leaves.

Gold and red dominate the maples along the quay.
