Migrating Friends

Good morning all! I wanted to share with you this couple of geese who have taken to stopping by our yard. We have a pond next door to us, and another on the other side of our property. My hubby says it must be too long between ponds (it's about a mile :)) because they use our place as

a rest stop a couple of times each day. I love to watch them. First the female eats while the male keeps watch for predators, then they switch places. And boy do they make a racket when they are arriving or departing! Today I know they saw me sneak out on the deck, and they were good enough to let me photograph them. Such a lovely couple!
