THIS IS WHAT I SAW FIRST THING IN THE MORNING

I grabbed my camera and started

taking photos, one after the other

Had to shoot through the front window

If I had opened the door I would have

lost my 'models'

At first I thought

Oh goodie

The babies have hatched

but

That was not the case

This is another family

of

Canadian Geese

There they go!!!

Mom in the lead, Dad bringing up the rear

(Now that everyone is in the

water I can now go outside)

This is one big happy family

We think the other 'birds'

are brothers and sisters

from last year

Oh brother

Here comes a thousand footer!!

The freighter is pulling the water out from shore

and

churning up the water

What happened to the calm water

we were swimming in just a few minutes ago?????

Hey, we're out of here

Babies are sticking close to Mom

Cute, cute, cute!!!!

Here comes the wake

The family headed down river

I have not seen them since

These are the eggs I have

been watching

I could see that Mamma goose was

no where to be seen

Oh my goodness

What is going to happen

to her babies??

ps

A THOUSAND FOOTER

I was about to send off my blog

when I noticed

a thousand footer going by

Now you can see just how

big and powerful the

lake freighter is

.....end of my story for today!
