I didn’t know it, but I was having a ‘haiku moment’- a moment when the mind stops and the heart moves.
Margaret McGee, Haiku – The Sacred Art
I’ve been noticing a large amount of goose feathers in one area of the grass near the ponds. My first thought was a major conflict over stomping grounds but this morning there must have been 20 geese in that area. This suggested the large amount of feathers was due to the greater number of geese. Actually, it could be both. There were no signs of conflict this morning. All of them resting, sleeping in a calm and seemingly peaceful place. I just stood there for a moment feeling the calm, then picked up my camera and took the image offered. I’ll call it a haiku moment. It is cloudy and cool but no rain forecasted. Will meet my oldest daughter for lunch today. Hope you have a great day.

Family reunion? Goose summer camp? Nicely captured trio, Monte.

In addition to feathers, wherever there are geese there is goose poop. Watch your step! 😉

So I walk, or swagger, across the grass as my exercise for balance, since i have reached that age. I call it the goose poop boogie.
