Geese

My computer is a bit glitchy today so I turn quickly to some recent photographs of geese.  Here are a pair of greylag (ancestors to most domestic geese) surveying their domain. 
Meanwhile the Canada Geese are prowling along the expanding edge of the lake
while keeping an eye out for the local humans who often appear with some easy eating.  I think they might be disappointed 
because nobody will be sitting on this green lakeside seat.  Its rather ironic that boating on the park lake was cancelled in the summer

 and the boathouse closed because of low water levels however in the springtime
 I was amused at this group of five children on a pedalo who were not shelling out for two boats when they could cram onto one.   No need to guess where the weight is concentrated and the life jackets in the back might come in handy.  

An entry to ABC Wednesday, a journey through the alphabet, this week sojourning at the letter G here

I was thinking of posting geese today, and I know I have taken lots of photos of geese in the past but somehow I could not find those darn photos :)
