Sunday in sunshine, with the goose whisperer

 

This guy (seated) has been around for years (I've lived here 14 years, and I don't know when I first saw him, at least 8 years ago). He is somewhat mentally handicapped, but loves the geese, who come to him. He obviously tries feeding them various things. Today he had no luck with spinach or ramen noodles. He knows corn will be better, and never bread. 

Mr. Goose wanted to see what I had to eat too...but he's smart enough to know a phone camera when he sees one.  Oh how we've changed wildlife with our new technology!

This bench no longer has any place to put your  feet, as the ducks and geese have made a nice ramp right in front of it.

I really would have liked to sit there...but not until there is ground in front of it again. There was a female duck ready to mate, and she's underneath at least two males at the time I took this...no shame in wildlife!  Poor female finally got a chance to breathe.

A nice sunny day meant some people were also fishing. the lake has been stocked with trout. I still don't think I'd eat anything from it. Since probably a hundred dogs are walked around it daily...and when it rains the results of their pee then drains into the lake. Fortunately little bags are provided for their solid waste. And then there are the geese and ducks...no thanks!

And here's another Tiny Library!

This is a good placement. I need to donate some books I guess!
