The Good Side


While global warming is going to bring very bad news in the coming years, we have had a wonderful three day weekend in the high 60's where we set aside the curtain ironing and hanging and the bill paying and put the canoe in the river for a rare January paddle.


The river was full of a convention of noisy geese who rushed to lift high into the air everytime a motorboat went up or down the river. A lot of energy was expended by them to live on the river next to man who uses the river as a freeway.


By the time we caught up to where they were resting there was only a floating "calling card."

  2. WOW, what a great pic. You captured that nanosecond perfectly (I am sure that the feather didn't float exactly like that for long).

  3. Actually the river had a number of downy feathers floating along and due to the calmness of the water and their water repellancy, they floated forever! But thanks for thinking I am talented.
