Hubby was doing his Meals on Wheels, while I was out figuring out my gardening priorities, camera at my side. JUST IN CASE! When I took out the garbage, for the second day in a row a flock of geese flew over in "V" formation. I was ready. I was determined. Of course, nature always wants to keep us on our toes. I abandoned my regret for not having the camera ready, and I gazed up at the sky in deep appreciation of the moment.
Who came along, predictably, for her afternoon meal?
She came in for a bit of a rest. The sun embraced her form, highlighting her silhouette from behind. Already, you can see the solstice wrapping itself around the end of the season. The tilt of its axis sheds a different light on my feathered friends.
They were frolicking in the water, bathing and doing it one-by-one. Each time a duck would splash about, she'd make a noise. She stood up tall, watching them and grunted/growled at them each time. I was unsure of the sound at first.
Then had herself a bath -she seems to have fleas, just like the other 4-legged ones around here!
Eventually, she flew off to feed. I kept gazing up at the sky, still waiting for the geese.I tried to capture her sound, along with a neighbour working with a chain saw on another neighbour's property! I was quite frustrated, but perhaps you can hear her!
