spent a lovely hour sitting by the pond as I waited for my car to have an oil change and bath…

watched this family of geese…  

 

they are the only inhabitants at the moment… I have been there when there were many families but that must have been later in the season…

  
busy babies…

  
I was thinking the water must be cold as they paddled along for a short stint in the pond… it was a special moment…

spent the afternoon in the garden…

 
saw goldfinches…

  a black and white warbler… maybe a yellow warbler but it moved too quickly for me to get a photo… 

 
and this cute sparrow…

day filled with special moments… great to have the time to enjoy them…
