Hello Monday and hello you! :-)
These are some recent images that I thought you might enjoy! The swan family that you see crossing the street are doing so well on the lake. Absolutely makes my heart soar to see them together and as how they should be. Papa Goose has been VERY busy with his ducklings and oh my gosh - are they ever ever adorable! It is so hard for me to walk away! But alas, I must and do. I have been framing images to take to the local gallery where I have some of my work and for my Etsy shop. I am savoring the remaining crepe myrtle blooms that surround Daisy Cottage and my street! They are so lovely and I will miss them when they are gone. I hope you like the egret images - such a beautiful bird that I probably should take more pictures of. And the "funny" looking duck, is a male Muscovy that Papa Goose raised from birth five years ago! They still hang together and that is a joy to see. I love witnessing all of the relationships on the lake - they are as diversified as our human ones.
I hope you have a beautiful week ahead! Sending you much love and hugs .....

The pictures never get old!

What a delightful picture of the Egret. They fascinate me. Papa Goose looks like a nice fellow; you can even see it in this picture. :)

Thank you, Kim. While I love every image, the grooming egret is stunning. How joyful you must be to see the swan family together again. Did the parents recognize their cygnets when they were returned to the lake? And, of course, Papa Goose continues to amaze with his love and dedication to his duckling family.

The close-up of Papa's face is the coolest picture ever! And the egret pic could be an Audubon print!

I am an odd duck and that is why the Muscovy looks as if he swallowed a pink dachshund...honestly, I looked at that picture for the longest time. =D Papa Goose has raised so many ducks...what a wonderful fellow he is.
