I woke to a spring-like day this morning and made time to visit my favorite pond in the city where my injured goose calls home. If she's out on the ice she'll come ashore to greet me. I visit her often. Today she sat down near me and enjoyed the warmth. Usually her mate is nearby but the last couple of times he hasn't been around. I'm a little concerned....
This is one of my greeting cards...

It was like being in the middle of a nature show. I can't wait to go back!

I've seen this brown goose several times. He's the only brown one I've seen among 100's of geese this winter...
I see this duck often ... his beak has such distinct markings
The birds are really starting to come out with the recent warm weather. I love the idea of spring in the air....
Before I close, I want to thank Stephanie Michele for leaving such a nice comment today on yesterday's blog called Information Overload. She has an amazing and soulful website called www.socialbling.org .
