Zebadiah Duck – Day 30

Photography, Uncategorized

30-30-1 Project Day 30

The last day of the 30-30-1 project. It has been fun and challenging, for me at least. This project has definitely expanded my creativity.

This last day we find Zebadiah, Adriana, Zachary, Zayda, and AdaLynn all together. They really enjoy each others companionship but know they will all head in their separate directions soon. Zeb and Adriana tell everyone, “see you later”. Family is everything.

We never know what the future holds. No one is promised tomorrow. Zebadiah says “We should all live life to the fullest. Be humble, kind, generous and never loose faith. Treat others with the same respect as you expect. Don’t try to be someone else, just be yourself. God first, Family before everything else.”

We have not seen the last of Zebadiah Duck. His adventures will continue on so stay tuned and check back often.

Together once more, as they all gaze into the sunset, we wish them well.

Peace!

30-30-1 Project Day 29

One more day of the project and we see more family.

Adriana’s sister, AdaLynn, stops by to meet this dude that Adriana is always talking about. Zebadiah is happy to finally meet her as well. AdaLynn is a yellow rubber duck, but she is anything but typical.

She has done a little of everything, and says there is no reason to stop now! Zeb has heard the stories of adventure in the wilderness, rock climbing, off-roading in a Jeep, you name it and she either has done it or wants to!

She will jump in any water no matter how deep. Some might call her a dare devil, I will just call her adventurous.

30-30-1 Project Day 28

Today Zebadiah took Adriana down to the Trinity River in Downtown Dallas. We have had several inches of rain over the last few days and the river has risen over its banks.

In the distance we see a teal rubber duck that resembles Zebadiah’s sister, Zayda. Zeb hasn’t seen his sister in a while now and with anticipation waits to see if it really is her. As she gets closer, Zeb becomes more excited and sure enough it is Zayda. Zeb and Zayda are so happy! They hug and laugh while Adriana has an idea this is Zayda but wonders who this girl is hugging Zeb? Finally he realizes Adriana has never met Zayda and introduces her.

Zayda was the athletic one of the family. You can catch her, if you can, running, cycling, bowling or just about any other sporting event. This evening she was jogging down the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge in Dallas.

Zebadiah has not seen his brother in a long time. He knows his brother likes classic hot rods, so today he ventures to a local car show in hopes he might be there too.

There are some beautiful cars here. Zeb looks, but knows not to touch. He likes the cars too and wishes he could drive, but everyone knows a rubber duck can’t drive!

Is that him? Zeb sees another duck wearing flames on his side. IT IS! It is Zachary!

30-30-1 Project Day 24

Zebadiah saw the pink duck during the Easter Egg hunt Sunday afternoon. Today saw her again and wants to talk to her if he can muster up the nerve. Zeb knows there are more ducks around, but she caught his eye earlier in his life and has been trying to find her ever since.

Her name is Adriana. Zeb finally got up his nerve to talk to her and they hit it off. She was elated as well, because she likes him too! Today they walked around the park behind the house. Zebadiah wanted to show her the wildflowers, clover and the creek. They were not ready to take a dip in the cool water yet, but maybe next time.

Zeb feels like it was meant to be. Adriana is happy she found Zeb too! Everyone has a soulmate. Sometimes they are hard to find.

30-30-1 Project Day 20

Holy Saturday – Lent is over for 2019. Not much happens on Holy Saturday. Those that gave up something for lent can have it again, but I am not so sure that is the meaning of the sacrifice. This year we gave up red meat. I sure would like a hamburger!

Zebadiah didn’t really give up anything, since after all he is a rubber duck, but nonetheless he gets to help with my sacrifice.

Zeb finally gets to take a road trip to Canyon Lake, Texas over the Easter weekend. He would sure like to get in that pretty water!

Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide with the Jewish observance of Passover. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, and Black Friday.

For Christians, Good Friday is a crucial day of the year because it celebrates what we believe to be the most momentous weekend in the history of the world. Ever since Jesus died and was raised, Christians have proclaimed the cross and resurrection of Jesus to be the decisive turning point for all creation.

We believe!

30-30-1 Project – Day 17

While in downtown Dallas we decided to find the giant 19-feet high 53-feet wide Dirk Nowitzki mural. After a crazy GPS enabled drive, we finally found it.

Zebadiah is quite small compared to the mural, as you can see, but he really likes Dirk. I think it is quite curious because you would think a rubber duck would follow anyone, much less a Dallas Mavericks legend.

30-30-1 Project Day 16

Well the project is halfway over and Zebadiah has had fun. Today he gets to take another little road trip to Downtown Dallas Texas to see the Dallas Skyline from the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy. At one point we couldn’t even see the road.

Zeb doesn’t mind the rain. He says “It’s like water off my back!” My camera and me think otherwise. He wanted to go farther to see the Trinity River, but we turned around and headed back to the truck eventually home.

Maybe someday when the weather is better, we will go back.

OOPS! I missed Day 13

Even though Zebadiah likes food, he obviously can’t cook. This Cast Iron Skillet Apple Blueberry Pie looks really good to a rubber duck, but of course he can’t eat it. We make sure he is in the other room before we eat this right out of the oven with a big scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream melting all over it.

Mmm..It sure was good. Sorry Zeb!
