A New Family in Wiesbaden


As I was walking through the park about 2 weeks ago, this perfectly symmetrical family stood by the banks of the Kurpark pond, waiting for safe entry for their chicks


Just this weekend, the same family was in the same location.  This time, the chicks were a bit larger and cerainly braver but mama was keeping an eye on the photographer.  I thought I was transported back to South Dakota for a brief moment. 

There is likely some metaphor for this chance meeting of this new family 2 weeks in a row.  It might be about how we miss friends and family everyday while we're here.  Or maybe it's a metaphor for how quickly kids grow into adults.  Or maybe it's a metaphor for a small world - halfway around the globe in the old country, you can find a piece of home.  Or maybe it's just life.

Tschus.
