Geese

There is a pond not far from my home that is often the destination of my walks.
Recently I found a lady feeding the Canada Geese adults and babies.  These geese have become so accustomed to humans that they allowed me to pet the babies.
The soft fluffy down contrasted by their very solid bodies was an unexpected discovery.  The babies were almost oblivious to my presence. The parents, standing only feet away, did not charge but they watched carefully.

What a blessed few moments in time, spent one on one with nature's finest gift - her young.
