The Quick and the Dead

Gracie visited both today, in cold mist, and judged both.
Her ears spoke for her: "Excellent!"

Make Way for . . .

Canada Geese!

Who says ducklings have more fun?

This fit pair lingered at the curb in waning sun before crossing the road,
slowly, as if processing in a wedding or coronation march.
Where I live, plenty of geese migrate overhead, touching down for water and a layover, honking loudly. Some, however, stay. Who wouldn't want to? A temperate climate, plenty of water in lakes and ponds, and edibles everywhere. They may be pests to those with houses on that water, but for me the geese are a visual delight for their sheer size, elegance, and dignity.

Oh, and why did they cross the road? To join the three other couples in the next median, where they made a giggling gaggle.
