A Tour of the University of Washington

March 27th, 2012 was a very calm and relaxing stroll through campus. As I walked by the fountain on campus I spotted a female Mallard duck and her chicks just walking beside the students. It was very cute to see. I find it very cool that the chicks followed their mother everywhere, every single move the chicks would mimic the mother's actions. In addition, I discovered how diverse the plants are here at the University. Everywhere you look there are different plants. In some areas of the campus it feels like you're in a totally remote area. It's very peaceful and you feel like you're in a different location, perhaps the woods.
