Spock

I love Star Trek so here is a Spock sketch from my Spocktober files #art #comicsky #startrek #spock

Here's a lovely pic of Muscovy duck sitting on a stepping stone surrounded by reddish brown dirt.

Here's another lovely photo of Muscovy duck. Here, he's standing at the edge of the pond.

Here's a lovely photo of Muscovy duck where you can see his beautiful iridescent feathers. There are Canada geese in the background.

Here's a lovely photo of Muscovy duck standing near me, looking at me.

I didn't go on an unofficial town sorcerer walk this morning, but I thought I'd share some pics of my buddy Muscovy duck. He's become a good pal of mine this past year. He's slow as a snail but he has the ability to materialize beside me at any moment.
