Chelsea and the Geese

Have you ever considered what runs thru the minds of creatures we meet on our journey?
I have.

In literature, its called personification.

Yesterday, I had the priviledge of meeting Chelsea, John's daughter.  She is very sweet and typical for her age. Its tough being not a kid and not an adult.  I know, I'm still there!! LOL

Anyway, Chelsea took over the picture taking yesterday. You can see a few of her compositions below. Good job girl!!

We were sitting on a rock that was close to the waters edge. It would seem the locals are used to the two-footed creatures feeding them various items, because as we sat there, we create quite a crowd of on-lookers; of the web-footed variety.  And; there was one red-winged blackbird.
The blackbird was incredibly tame, and I think that if I'd had something to offer it, it likely would have taken it from my hand. Unusual. Said bird was not impressed when nothing was offered. Although he did make several fly-bys, just in case.

Curious; the web-footed creatures, waiting for dinner, mulled around, in the water. Circling; nudging for front row access. Some got a bit snippy when there was nothing to eat, impatient waiting. Others seemed in for the long haul, and parked in front without budging. They gathered in a bunch, and had there been something offered; I'm sure a melee would ensue. Overall, the group was reasonably orderly.

We walked from there; heading up a pathway; in the direction of a hut offering ice cream and fries and other such items.
The two-footed creatures found here, waiting for dinner, mulling around. Some were in cue; others hanging off to the side; some got a bit snippy, impatient waiting. Then, taking their snacks, would park, at tables nearby or wander off. There was a bit of nudging and some negotiations. Overall, the group was reasonably orderly.
