May 24 at Green Lake

Cool air and a nice breeze made today's walk great ...

I like to start with a snap just looking across the lake from
the point where I usually begin my walk.
Today, the air temp was about 55F (12.7C) and there was a
very nice breeze. Skies were mostly cloudy.

 Linking up with Skywatch Friday and thanks to Yogi♪♪♪ for hosting.

Not far into the walk ... a Canada geese family with
two new little ones. In the next snap I happened to be able
to catch one of the older goslings with one of the new ones.
The difference, is about 3 weeks ... just a guess, of course.

Update: Saturday morning May 25 ... Just took a look at Eileen's Saturday's Critters and enjoyed her pics of Canada Geese. Thought I should share my Geese pics from this post. So these will be Friday Critters on Saturday. Sort of.  :-)  Check out Saturday's Critters!

Marching onward ...
About two dozen Canadian Geese followed one leader to
the water's edge and then took flight for their morning exercise.

Lastly ...
I continue to be surprised at how these folks are up so early
and already out on the water. I guess I shouldn't be surprised
since I am up so early myself.
I am just fascinated by the level of dedication and effort
these folks put into rowing.

  2. That sky and lake looks very peaceful. I have been to Seattle a couple of years ago and I really love about it is that even if it's a big city, it's a lot more quiet than other mega cities I have visited. Happy Skywatch john!

  5. We have been following a geese family too, John. Geese are great parents.

    Thanks for your comments on my blog. My husband accompanies me on all the excursions and he is interested in photography but he doesn’t have a blog. He loves the walks and picnics but he would be out earlier in the day, like you are, if not for me, a 7:30 riser.

  7. The goslings are always a treat to see. For my part, I would like them to stay small a little longer. They are cutest at that stage.Have a great weekend. Likely will be chilly here and wet.

  12. Hi John. Like the Canadian Geese - something we don't see here...we have Sulphur Crested Cockatoos- large parrots- which squark a lot and are very mischevious and destructive - I'd certainly trade them in on Ducks or Geese in an instant. Regards. KEV.
