As most of you know, we live on a small lake. We derive surprising joy from the lake. We love kingfishers, the hawk, the domestic geese, the great blue heron, the little green heron, and we really enjoy the Canada (not Canadian) geese who pass through here headed south now, or north in the spring. A few seem to over-winter on our lake, and I guess we are pretty far south.
We love to hear them honking as they circle and maneuver to land into the wind. We love to see them paddle leisurely across the lake. Our neighbor east of us has a couple of Geese decoys, and the geese will come to her back yard and dock. There were 4 there yesterday.
Yesterday (Nov 2) we saw a NEW record ~80 Canada geese all together.
Aren't they impressive? It was not possible to get them all in the frame, but we counted them, not estimated them.
That these beautiful big birds can fly south each fall, and then back home again each spring is a marvel. We are so grateful to G^d that we get to enjoy his creation.
"18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things." Rom 1
Blessings,
