Ahhh, I see…awesome pics, Tim.
Thanks, Jeff.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Timothy, I feel for the duck 🦆. She is alone.
Gorgeous pictures 👏🌹
Hi Gabriela. It’s actually a silly goose. There was a large flock of geese hanging out on a sandbar a few hundred feet south of where the silly goose was. Several flocks flew in over her and landed near the sandbar while I was photographing her with the cranes. She’s there by choice. Apparently enjoying the company of cranes.
Hi Timothy. It’s a goose. It tells you how much I know. I cannot even distinguish between a duck and a goose 😊
I hope you guys are enjoying your evening. Sending hugs to everyone 🤗
In you defense, you’re not seeing the whole goose, so it’s easy to mistake them. I love that you called it a duck so I could tell say it was a “silly goose” using an old cliché. But you are right that it is sad and alone. It may have lost it’s partner and that’s way it’s hanging out with the cranes.
That you Timothy. I feel bad for her/him.
It might be like this:
A sad and silly goose
Thinking like a crane
It might just set her loose
From Branta canadensis
To Antigone canadensis
The letter A is
Before the letter B
Moves her up the food chain
Ardent crane
Instead of
Boring silly goose
Beautiful. You are wonderful 👏👏👏👏
The lone Canada goose. No others of its kind around? Beautiful photos, Tim.
Just saw your earlier comment. Alone, but not alone.
You got it. Thanks, Lavinia.
Thanks, Lavinia.
Nature is always teaching us how to coexist. ☮
The cranes, geese,ducks and herons manage to get along pretty well. Thanks, Michele.
Must be wonderful to watch. 😃
They are so much fun to watch. Do you have plans for Thanksgiving?
Wonderful! Time in nature is so healthy, relaxing, and restorative. Low key plans. Some baking and food prepping today, then a few family members will join us tomorrow. My daughter and her boyfriend will travel here for Christmas. What about you and yours?
We are going to a friends house in the early afternoon and then to Laurie’s parents after that. Have a great time.
Nice! Thank you so much. You too.
Guessing that Canada got into it with a bully from his flock and hired those Sandhills to watch its back – they certainly have all the angles covered..
Could be. Thanks, Brian.
I don’t know what you are talking about. I am so blending in. You can’t tell me apart…
As for the rest of the photos… all beautiful shades of violet!
And wow on Jupiter!
Thanks, Dale. They all look the same. Like everyone in the world.
That’s what I thought. 😉
Now you are thinking right (which is wrong, but don;t tell anyone). No differences between you and me anymore. But the thought of you looking like me? Pulease! I’m not blind, yet anyway, and don’t eeeeven want to see you looking like me.
What is wrong is right. And Imma look if I want but I’ll do it so’s you don’t realise it, how’s that? 😉
As long as I don’t see you looking like me. Now if I looked like you I would have all the guys chasing me all over the place. It wouldn’t be safe out there. But it would be worth it to be beautiful.
Awww now you’re just sweet-talkin’ me to get on my good side. It’s working, just so you know 😉
I don’t want to be on you bad side. That would be bad.
That would be bad. It’s not a side that comes out very often but when it does? Watch out! And you are definitely not the sort to ever be in danger of meeting said side.
I am so good at these sorts of tests, you have no idea. Clearly the rockets don’t belong and the cranes do.
Thanks, Cindy.
Nice shot of the cranes and the answer is already given 😉
Thanks, Rudi.
Lovely photo of the cranes, Timothy. They look so regal. I’ve never seen one here in North Wales, although we do have lots of Canada geese.
Thanks, Lizzy. Apparently the common crane can be found in Wales, but they are not common anymore. Populations have been reduced greatly over the past 300/400 years.
That’s interesting. Thank you, Timothy.
You are welcome.
Maybe she thinks she’s a Lol. What a photobomb though crane…..
Thanks, Shey.
A funny moment – maybe this is a goose with dreams?
Fascinating night skies.
It wants to be a crane when it grows up? Thanks, Heidi.
Maybe!
Oh, no, he belongs just fine, making new acquaintances! 😉
Painter in great moods and I love it how he pops a Jupiter here and there.
Thanks, Marina. The goose asked the question and you answered it. The painter is always up to something.
😂😂🤣 Of course he is! 😉
She’s decided to mix it up, yay for her. Great photos.
Thanks, Holly. Party goose.
Fun to read all the comments with the hypothesis of what’s going on with our feathered friends. We are always amazed with the Jupiter plus moons images!
The comments are interesting. I like seeing how Jupiter’s moons are in deffent positions every time I photograph them. Thanks, Maj & Sher.
A Canadian goose peeking through!
I saw many on the lake yesterday and every single one was sleeping… on the water!
Happy Thanksgiving!
A lazy goose day. Thanks, Nancy.
Hmmmmm I wonder which shorter than the cranes bird it is? hehe
Sure does makes you wonder. Thanks, Teri.
Hmm, I love challenges.
Okay, I’m going with the bird on the far right. He seems taller than the others. 😉😂
You are right about the bird on the right. Very good. Thanks, Resa.
You have to get up pretty early in the morning to fool me! 😀
For sure.
Lol! {{hugs}}
You always get such splendid sky-scapes, Tim. These are breathtaking. The cranes are gorgeous! I got a kick out of the goose photo-bomb. Hugs on the wing!
Thanks, Teagan.
LOL I love it. Beautiful photo.
Thanks, Gigi.
Lovely pics, as always. I think the “silly goose” looked to be enjoying the company.
She seemed to be. Thanks, KT.
Oh, Tim – you captured the beauty of a diverse community. Lovely.
Thanks, Rebecca.
The goose cand comments take me back to time when I was alive and working, Tim. I was driving home from work, 06:00hrs and stopped at the river Trent to feed the swans and mallards. Before I’d got out of the car, it was surrounded by dozens of Canada geese, all aggressively beak-pecking at the car. I threw the food out of the window, and I moved on. Two days later, I got a fine through the post for feeding the ‘birds’? Someone had seen me, and sent my registration number, along with a distant photo to the Council! I could not see any residences anywhere from where I was parked? Now, I know there is a ban, and paid £150 for the pleasure. Hehe!
The thing that’s really annoying is that someone turned you in. Snitches are just plain evil.
I didn’t even know about the ban, I drove down ot have a look next day, and there were dozens of signs. Whoops! Hehe!
They all look like they belong to me Timothy. different as they are but all beautiful!!1👍💖.
They do. Thanks, Cindy.
My pleasure!! 💖
Great shots as always Tim … poor lone goose
Thanks, July. It’s a silly goose.
