I can’t believe that this duck has been sitting on top of the Iria here in Tel Aviv for a while now and today is the first time that I saw it.  What is it?  Why is it there?  Because I am not from here I miss stuff, important stuff like this inflated duck in honor of Israels beloved illustrator Dudu Geva who died at the age of 55 in February 2005.

I couldn’t help but go to the “land of rubber ducks”.  I did some research and came up with a few products that are all about ducks…

Duck shower curtain number one,

Duck shower curtain number two…

This is a stress reducing duck that you squeeze, just looking at it makes me happy.

Incognito rubber ducks,

And THE rubber duck of all ducks! Dudu Geva is still making a statement, even from above.  Thank you Dudu.
