    We had several geese stop by on their way up north this Spring.

    aw, they're cute. But then again I know they can make a mess in the yard.

    Great shots DaphDaph of the cute little ones and their parents. :-D Geese on your lawn certainly cut down on the mowing you have to do and they even leave fertilizer behind them as well. ;)

    Those babies are cute! Be careful Daph Daph...those geese can get very aggressive and their droppings contain Salmonella.

    Looks like next year you may have more visiting geese. They sure are pretty to look at and interesting to watch.
