Caught

I finally found "my geese" on the grass by the Mill pond and I have to say I just love the way the pictures came out with the sun ray's. So this is my picture(s) of the day!

My Buddies

Ijust could not help myself, They let me get soooo close!

 

 These guys are at Goerge Young's Park on Firland Dr.

  

The one on the right is talking to me! LOL!!!

 

  

I just can't get over how pretty and trusting they are!

A Gaggle of Gese?

I found a whole gaggle of geese (is that correct) out in a field and was quite shocked when they let me get this close. It was awesome and fun!!!
This is out at George Young Park on Firland in Pinetown!

 

  

  

Why has she not checked on her geese!

Has anyone wondered yet why I have not checked on my geese yet? I know I have ! LOL!!! Yes here I go again.

 

They did not seem to be afraid of me,

 

I think they missed me. I think the one on the right is telling the one on the left "Hey, There she is! She's baaaaack! Let's do some exceptional posing for her!"

 

And they did!

"My geese are posing"

This is beginning to look like a Duck, Duck, Goose blog, I have been posting so many of them lately. I just can't help myself, I find them so beautiful, graceful and awesome. I also know this will be short lived, they will not be here much longer, at least not this close. So please allow me a few more.

 

This is at the end of my street going towards Westwood!

 

There is a fence there, although it is torn and I could have actually walked up on the field they were acting as if they knew I could not get any closer,

 

Or perhaps they know me by now and they know I am no threat and they were simply "posing" for me. It really does almost look that way!

I think I probably should name these guys, I am beginning to know them so well. LOL!!!

Any suggestions!

Wow today was/is a beautiful. Actually sat out in the sun, and not to get warm but to actually get some color on my face and arms. For me in my little world, is about as close to heaven as it comes.
Walking around the pond I found "my" geese hiding place. I was rather impressed. I never could get to that part of the pond until today, and although I still was wearing my "mountain boots" and got them a little wet I could not care any less!

 

  

  

 And something else happened today.I think I saw (and took this picture of) a hummingbirds nest. I have always searched for one, only knowing they are quite small, I was shocked to see this right above my head when I was taking the pictures of "my geese"

So I sure would love it if a reader who may pass by here could tell me whether or not that is what kind of nest this is. I sure would appreciate it!

Thanks!!!

 

Duck, Duck,Goose and weather!

Iswear that Lassen County California, it can be beautiful in the morning, warm, etc. Then it can rain and go so far as to snow and THEN have beautiful sunshine again. I have never seen any normalcy to our weather up here. Today was indeed no exception. Started out with me putting on a tank top expecting to sit and/or work in the yard and get some sun. Next thing I know it is raining, here comes the wind-breaker coat. After that it was all about putting on a heavy coat, beanie and ditching snow. I give up. But just to point it out, I went to the mill pond again looking for "my geese." The ones I posted just yesterday? They were there, this ought to show you what I mean by the differance in Lassen County weather!

The colors of Pinetown Ca, 96137 Day 57

Yesterday as I walked to my son and his girlfriends new house they are moving into, I forgot to bring my camera. Yes I was shocked also LOL!!! But what I had passed on that walk was something I knew I just had to come back today and take pictures of. This is on my street at the end of it and overlooking the town of Westwood, Ca. 96137. I don't think I have to explain anymore. The colors are so vibrant, so gorgeous, that I just stood there for quite awhile taking it all in.

They say a storm is coming with snow, and soon. Today's beauty perhaps is that calm before the storm. Then these would be pictures laid out in a blanket of white!

Gosh I love the beauty that surrounds me here. And as I was walking I was listening to the ducks and /or the geese saying what they have to say as I believe today is the first day of hunting season, and tomorrow morning I am sure I will be awoke to the sounds of gunshots at dawn as the hunters will be out.

Also as very much as I love animals and birds and such, those gunshots are not ones aimed at human beings as you can hear in so many city's throughout the U.S.A. and for that, I am VERY thankful!
