ALAMEDA, CA — Rak and Jody Bhalla agreed to take a walk together every day during the coronavirus shelter-in-place order. They've kept their promise to one another.

Rak tells Patch, "We agreed that we would go for a walk regardless of rain, heat, or high winds. Our walks usually last anywhere from 1.5 hours to 2 hours. We live on Bay Farm near the water. Such great scenery! These walks inspired me to take pictures of the beautiful birds and other creatures that I encountered during our trek."

On Wednesday, the couple spotted a mama and her ducklings in one of the lagoons.
