Photo of the Day: Frozen Duck Pond, Saddle River County Park, Ridgewood NJ

“NO FEEDING THE WATERFOWL,” a sign forbids at the wild duck pond next to the parking lot for Saddle River County Park in Ridgewood, NJ. As you can see from the accompanying photo—taken on Sunday, when I also took this one I posted yesterday—that command was beside the point: Even with warming temperatures that produced thin ice, there was no waterfowl to be found anywhere near the pond.

Nevertheless, the landscape all of this produced was picturesque, I think you’ll agree.
