new birth...

excitement abounds... 

yesterday, i practically walked upon new little goslings...  yes, they've finally hatched.  after much honking, fussing and fluttering about the last several weeks, the baby canada geese have burst from their eggs.  as i approached, oblivious to the fact that they were there, mama and papa, began to honk and do this flicking thing with their necks... it was then i noticed the little fluff balls on the ground - got off a couple shots before the whole family went plop, plop into the water.



then today, the same.  they are very shy and skeptical about me being around them on dry ground.  but cute as can be once in the water; posing as a family and alone...






happy day.....

Wow - they really did let you come close :) Will you be able to watch them grow up a bit? How fun!
