Fluffball in the Public Garden

There is just something irresistibly cute and quintessentially Bostonian about little kids dressed up like ducks for the annual Make Way for Ducklings parade through Beacon Hill. And every year, there's always one kid dressed like a giant ball of feathers.

A newspaper photographer asked the cop below for his name. "Officer Mike" he said. No, really, she replied. Officer Mike will do, he told her, as he continued to pose with the ducklings crossing Beacon Street.
