Getting Your Ducks in a Row

It sure feels good to be well-organized and ready to tackle whatever may come. I’ve heard and used this expression a thousand times, but have never seen it in action quite like this.

We were in Victoria, BC. Walking across a bridge, I spotted a chaotic scene with a family of ducks in the water. They were scattered, heading in different directions, and fighting for position.

Within moments, I could see a little organization happening, and before I knew it Mama and Daddy duck had all their Baby ducks lined up like they were in a parade for a pass-in-review before the Queen.

And off they went, ready to take on the next challenge they encountered.
