About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

    Love how they take turns checking to see if the other one is still mad.

    Ha! Great caption to the series of photos, Linda. They do look like they are each trying to break the ice after a spat.

    These are so cute, Linda! The images really show their argument and possible make-up! I didn’t post today, needed a break.

    Great shots, Linda!
    I’ll take the blame… and then duck out of the picture.

      Now that’s clever Tom … when someone has a funny quip to one of my Wordless Wednesday posts, I always wonder why I didn’t think of that? I wondered if Mallards mimic human behavior or humans mimic Mallard behavior. Either way it was fun to watch them!

    A delightful collection of photos – nice work! And a nice reminder of the lily pads from warmer weather where they could swim off if the reconciliation over their argument didn’t work 😉

    This was so funny Linda. When I look at each picture the first is ignoring each other. Then she says her words and turns away. Then he says his word and turns away. 🤣

      Glad to give you a smile Diane! These two ducks did crack me up as it was such humanlike behavior in that “thawing out period” after an argument. 🙂

    They’re tired of arguing! Trying to be as natural as possible to get over that awkward silence. 🙃
