The Duck Pond...

A holiday tradition here in North Florida is to go to the Duck Pond at North Florida Regional Hospital.  Every year, the hospital decorates the pond with thousands of lights and blow up balloons of all sorts.  They pipe music over the speakers that is representative of multiple genre and absolutely beautiful.
   I have posted a scene, from across the pond, that I found to be very peaceful and festive.  The local families bring their children to roam around the circle of the pond and make wonderful memories.  It is very joyous and happy.  The extra is a photo of the Duck House, in the middle of the pond.  It was taken at night, but when you click on it you get a real feel of the ambiance.   Every spring, the pond site is welcoming to all the baby ducklings that hatch there.
