THEY'RE BACK!


The goose and gander are back and have set up house 
on the building across from us! 
So fun to watch their coming and going!
Love the flying Vs overhead!
Spring is here! Let it still snow now and then, but it's here to stay!


“As long as the earth endures, 
seedtime and harvest,
cold and heat, summer and winter, 
day and night will never cease.”
Genesis 8:22

What an interesting picture - I like geese...our Canada goose has left us and probably found a mate...maybe she'll be back in the fall.

Have a lovely day!

How fun. I love to watch them fly. Taking off is pretty cool too. Molly just discovered the two who seem to like our little lake across from our house. She cocked her head when they took off honking. Enjoy!

My word, I had to enlarge this one. They look like statues on the roof, one at each end! I have tried to capture the V with my camera many times, they fly above us all the time. but they MOCK me, I have never been able to do it!!

It's interesting that the goose and the gander each have their own corner of the building.

Oh how neat, Karin... I know you will enjoy watching them... I have enjoyed watching the Eagles in their nest on the Webcam... SO interesting. They now have two little fuzzy babies... Adorable.
Hugs,

How interesting...I would have to ask how anyone can get any work done for looking out the window. How cute that they would stand on each corner of the building as if they were statues....
Great shots...{pictures}

Isn't watching the activities of wildlife fun?!! Do they always return to the same building year after year?

It's lovely to get these signs of spring. I just saw my first bunny rabbit munching on the grass. Better the grass then my first few shoots of flowers!

Hope your spring flowers are on the way.

I have always loved the assurance of that cycle - the Lord will keep all the seasons and life-cycles going for as long as He chooses.

Then he will make all things new. :)

Loved the pictures of the goose and gander. Blessings to you - Marsha

I commented on the wrong post.

Goosey goosey gander,

When my daughter was little, some child care here in New Zealand refuse to treach this song. They say it is cruel to kick the old man down the stairs.

Hey! I saw them and a friend recently at the drive-thru! I guess they needed to stop for a bite on their way north! :)

Amazing! How on earth will they get the goslings to water?

Each year I've been wondering and worrying how those goslings get off the tower. I understand that Canada Fish and Wildlife have come to the rescue. They probably have experience with a timely relocation or in future prevention of building the nests there in the first place. Each year there must be new locations. Last year I viewed a video about a brood being born downtown and an office worker came to the rescue.

My Love! Hans Peter Ristau  November 24, 1939 - May 21, 2013 EULOGY presented by his son Dr. Kenneth Andrew Ristau  Hans Peter Ristau was born to Karl and Martha Ristau on November 24th, 1939, in Berlin, Germany, only two and half months after the start of the War. Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

WELCOME TO ALBERTA!!

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
