Off in the Morning Mist - Wordless Wednesday

Note: These are the geese I have been following over the past few weeks. The young ones have grown into the geese coloring.







Note: I will be offline for about a week to catch up on some work and garden projects and perhaps take a mini-vacation. Until then...


Visit Wordless Wednesday for more photos.

    Very atmospheric photos. Lovely to watch nature at work. Our Springwatch programme is on at the moment on the BBC and it is a joy.

    Love your geese photos! When I lived at my last home in Washington State, there used to be two geese that would lay their eggs in a little pond behind our home. I really enjoyed seeing the babies each year. Have a beautiful day! Saw you on Wordless Wednesday! xoxo Kim

    Beautiful images for a WW post. The mist and lighting make the shot. Nice to see them wearing their new coats.

    Gosh, they grew up so quickly. Mr. Sorry raised some motherless baby ducks in the bathtub of his apartment (!) just about the time we met. It's one of the reasons I love him.

    Lovely pictures. We have geese on lakes near us. I was watching a group with babies grazing on the grass. Always at least one adult alert and on guard. Fascinating to watch!

    Those 'little' ones don't look so little anymore. I've been monitoring the progress of some baby robins in a nest in one of my trees, when mama robin allows me to get close. Spring certainly is full of miracles, isn't it?

    So sweet to see. We've had lots of fog here too - and volcanic ash grounding flights!

    @Bluebirds and Butterflies I enjoy watching them so much. Every time I see them I count the babies as if to keep count...hoping that they are all well. Thanks for visiting!

    @gardenwalkgardentalk.com Yes, they are almost the size of the parents. It was such a pleasure to see them grow.

    @easygardener If I lived in one of the houses near the lake, I would never get anything done because I would constantly be watching or checking up on them.

  27. The Sage ButterflyJune 17, 2011 at 5:15 PM

    @Debbie/GardenofPossibilities Haven't they grown? I love being a part of all of this...watching, helping when I can, and savoring...

    @Casa Mariposa We don't have enough at the lake for them to be a pest. I hope it never gets to that point, because I would miss them.
