Solitude

A couple beautiful photo of a Canada Goose. This was one of three in this pond on this day. The other two appeared to be ‘a couple’, but this one was alone.

There is something to be said for time in solitude. Perhaps she is making conversation with her reflection. We do not find much solitude these days. We are always ‘plugged in’ to our gadgets. We need more of what this goose seems to be enjoying. Some down time with our thoughts .. in solitude.

Building A Home?

This is a female Red-winged Blackbird. I have been trying to get a photo of one since we first saw one this spring. They are nesting!

Fight, Fight …

DSC_5733.jpeg

It was a peaceful afternoon .. a few ducks and these two geese were enjoying a nice day on the pond.

While we were taking photos of this pair and the ducks that were also swimming nearby we heard incoming geese ..

They quickly landed, but not far from our peaceful pair.

Our pair did not seem to take this well .. darn intruders.

The response? They quickly flew over to make it known that this was not acceptable. A few quick snaps to make it clear that this will not stand.

The spat did not last long. After a few minutes, peace was restored. Nature can be like politics .. I wonder ..

Teresa shot the photos of the geese landing on the pond. I took the other photos. It was on the cooler side outdoors, but the sun made it a nice day for hiking.

Sing It Loud

Sing it ... Sing it loud. This Song Sparrow was really making some beautiful music. I guess I should have recorded it.

Spring? 🥶

DSC_5556.jpeg

The weather is confused ... yes, it is spring. The trees are budding and I have already cut the grass once. Then it gets cold again. Oh well. Stay warm.

Don’t ask me what this had to do with this Blue Jay photo. I shot this near the Miami River last week .. on a warmer day.
