The Goose Family!

This spring, try as I might, I have not been outside to see this year's batch of ducklings and goslings. 

Today Dear One, who walks out there around the  ponds and the complex's perimeter every day, saw these little cuties again and took a picture for me!

Geese are good people!  You will note that the mom (or the dad) is keeping a vigilant eye on the the little guys while the spouse enjoys a nice meal.  They will trade places later on.

Last week Dear One saw the family walking very fast, one right after the other, down the sidewalk but no picture was taken at that time.

It makes me smile to see these beauties, even though the babies have mostly lost their fluff and are well into half-grown.  I certainly appreciate Dear One sharing the photo with me and allowing me to share it with others.
