The Pond

The rain finally stopped so I spent some time out by the pond today. I started by photographing some still wet flowers.

As I wandered around the pond, these gosling emerged from the reeds


They weren't alone. They had these two chaperones steering them all around the pond.



I caught one of the parents pulling up a plant to feed to the goslings.




There was also a wood duck with a whole lot of duckings, but she didn't cooperate (photographically) by swimming out of the reeds.




Red winged blackbirds feed on the reeds and I was able to capture this one coming in for a landing.
