Bluebells

Blue is my favorite color and I’ve always loved bluebells. I lived in a largely rural area of the UK when I was a child and loved to walk in the woods and the fields. You would often find huge carpets of bluebells in the woods at this time of year. In my woodland walks here in NY I haven’t come across such large numbers of them, but I have seen isolated groupings (probably blown from a garden somewhere) like this one.

Geese on a nearby pond

I was walking the dog by this nearby pond when I spotted two geese. I considered taking a picture, but then thought to myself: “Do I really want to take yet another picture of a couple of geese swimming serenely around on a pond?” My answer was: “No” and I started to walk away. I took a look back and noticed something a bit different about these geese: there was actually a third goose, or to be more precise, a gosling. I have a weakness for small cute furry creatures so I couldn’t resist.





You’ll notice in this final picture that there are three geese and a gosling. The third goose, the one on the top right, was either trying to getting into the picture (unlikely) or angling for some food (more likely). Whatever it was the other two didn’t much like it and again and again aggressively chased it away, only for it to return.
