Soothing Spring

Hello everyone!  The video I have chosen for this post is very short...just one minute in length.  I am posting it more for the soothing sounds of a bird bath and birds chirping than for the images.  Although there are really nice images in the video the quality of the video isn't the greatest.  You can listen to it while you read my post, though...and hopefully the sounds will be pleasant and relaxing for you as they are for myself.

The photo I am sharing is one I took a few days ago when I took my nature park walk!  Again, I came across a pair of geese...I know that they are not Canada geese, but I am not sure just what type of geese they are.  You just need to click on the image to see a larger view.

Thank you all so much for visiting me here!  I really appreciate and enjoy reading your kind thoughts, which you can always share by clicking on the 'comments' link at the end of my post.

  1. Dear Linda - lovely post...I have no clue what kind of geese those are. Believe it or not here in Ohio our geese are Canada ones. Actually they have started coming our way and staying a good portion of the year. Just saw new babies at a pond yesterday. They are so cute and sweet. I never tire of seeing them.
    I always enjoy my visit to your lair...thanks for sharing.

  7. Nice quotes! I'm not sure what this pretty goose is. It may be a greylag, but I could tell better if it was walking

  8. Ah I like that quote. It's the whole group of birds singing together that makes it beautiful.

  11. Hello Linda - nice photo of the geese. If you look on carolinabirds.org - then click on to page about ducks and geese you can identify it and it seems to be a swan goose because of the black beak etc. Have a good day!

    Relaxing sounds indeed_ the sound of running water always soothes my soul. ;) thank you for stopping by so I could return the visit.

  16. We live on the west coast, so that type of goose is unfamiliar...we have only the Canadian variety in our neck of the woods. They are beautiful. :) Thank you for stopping by at *my place*...many blessings to you! Camille
