Yesterday driving home after picking my car up for some repairs at the body shop, I came across a family of geese crossing the road. This happened to me a few days ago also while running errands. But this time I had my camera ready.
It is like a breath of fresh air to see new life no matter with geese, birds, puppies, kittens, or any animal for that matter. I lose track of what I may have been thinking about when I see animals in nature, or watching my dogs at home. I think that is quite extraordinary that no thoughts seem to drift through my mind when I get lost in the beauty of animals.
When I see these young goslings at this stage of life, half way grown, I refer to them as teenagers. While the newly new, young goslings still stay close on the heels of mama goose, the teenagers began to feel more confident. Some stray off, and these above are checking out what is in front of them… braving the world they are learning about around them.
I love these grand reminders of all the spectacular beauty in our world. Deep breath. Exhale slowly. Life is good.
After I shared this post on Facebook, someone shared this adorable and fun video with me about a goose that is a crossing guard. Click here.
