Photos :: A Special Visitor

The other day we were about to take our afternoon walk and noticed we had a tiny little visitor in our front yard: A baby Canadian Goose! 

 He was so fuzzy and cute! He let me get pretty close to take a few photos, but I didn't want to get too close or touch him because if the mother found him smelling unfamiliar she would have abandon him. So we just watched him a bit while he wandered around the neighbourhood.

Every time he would walk up to a curb he would fall off of it. It was so cute, he was so clumsy. After about 20 minutes he started to seem pretty frightened about me following him so we called my mom's friend that does the Wildlife Management in our area but unfortunately he isn't able to handle birds. So we kind of shooed him to the direction of the beach and carried on our walk. I really hope he found his flock, poor little guy didn't know what to do!

Last night it was fairly warm again so Jesse and I decided to take the kids for a walk. Along the way we found a stream - which Dexter and Josie both loved - and some other neat things. Sometimes if I don't like the contrast of my photos (which usually happens at 7pm when the sun is going down) so I like to edit them for fun.

It seems some flowers survived through the cold and ice - daffodils and tulips are starting to bloom!

So it wasn't really a stream, but Dexter still wanted to play in it.

He loves frolicking around in water, its funny because he jumps like a deer.

Josie was mesmerized by the rushing water

Really mesmerized. In her awesome jacket.

Our beach is very popular and on that beach there is about 50 benches donated from all sorts of locals, tourists, etc. I've never noticed this one for some reason but when I read it, it made me all warm inside. What a beautiful message.

We thought it was getting nicer, and then we woke up to a very cold and windy thunderstorm. So loud it was shaking the house and flickering the power. Josie's first thunderstorm and she slept right through it! Dexter didn't though because he's a giant wuss. 

Has the weather changed at all for you?
