Took a trip over to the metro park-owned Toledo Botanical Gardens, along with wife & daughter, while son in law slept (he works odd hours). Major photo op! I took enough pix that I thought I'd better divvy it up into two posts: one animal, one plant. So here is the "animal" life that presented itself before the lens...
This guy was pretty photogenic, working the pond pretty hard and, I suspect, eating well.
Seemed to get along with others...Lots of geese in the place: Big ones, little cute ones, future ones...And big ol' carp swimming around. Once in a while we would hear a frenzy of fish action, and see a bunch of fish making a loud splashing. I don't know if this is a fishy rite of spring or what...Then there was this guy, hanging out on what appeared to be a scupture of a sea craft. He turned it into performance art. Aye aye, Cap'n.
That's it for now... THE END

Nice pictures! I like the baby geese. I never actually see them when they are that age. All grey and fuzzy.
Hey- I tagged you on my blog..
I had to look closely at that last one to figure what it was. I'm looking, going "wha" and finally tagged it as the south end of a diving goose.
You took some neat pictures there.
I haven't heard that expression "performance art" since my daughter graduated art school - LOL
Great pics and great times! I like the picture with the baby goose that has his foot up!
