Chloe Suddenly Felt Depressed

While our Canadian Geese friends don't have the beautiful color of other birds, I do find them to be graceful, at times. This was one of those times, preening, the goose was very relaxed and contented.
Larger size you can see him pulling up his leg after deciding that the water was something to adjust to and not just dive right in :)
It was a beautiful sunset in Washington DC.... I hope people noticed. Best viewed orginial size if you can.
While a cat on the counter is not a normal thing here,( after the 50th time of putting her down I might add ) Mary McDhui decided today she would help me. I was getting some items lined up for dinner. She decided to clear the counter and this shows how really bored we are.
He laughs at me because I have 1 zillion errands to do today. Me, not laughing. :-)
No flags were thrown on the play. Geese 7 Ducks 4... play ball
NOTE: I think it would have been better without the gulf at the top left, but I am too lazy to photoshop it out... so much for me..... eh?
A happy dog I encountered today. please don't tell Chloe or Mary McDhui. I did meet the current Lassie one day about 8 months ago. Did I have my camera with me?? Noooooo.. but it was still very cool.. he/she is a beautiful dog.
The Peace Of Wild Things - Wendell Berry | p.1968
When despair for the world grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting with their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
A cup of starbucks, my D70 and the beautiful day...... I am off to the pond....
