slightly different

view today

even though this is actually

yesterday's

this is the dock off the neighbour's yard

this neighbour has moved out

don't know why

didn't get a chance to ask

so as there are no real estate for sale signs yet

no

no trespassing signs posted

and the fact that I used to spend a lot of time there

in the old days when the "boys" were little

and I used to help the lady who lived there

I felt at home

walking on to someone else's property

what I would have said or done had someone questioned my right to be there

well it didn't happen

so I don't know!!!!!

I wasn't doing anything wrong

and I wanted to get as close to the

geese as I could

while they were close into shore

so to speak

well

there they are

the three amigos

honker

friend

and a

canada goose

who seems to have lost his gaggle

the one on the left is hissing at me

and the others were making

noises in their throats

that told me not to get any closer!!!

I heeded the warning

the other ducks I had actually gone to photograph flew away

as soon as they saw me

and I couldn't get anything worth looking at

they were the ones that were here last year

with the funny shaped heads

and they dive under the water

and pop up somewhere else

I will continue to try to get them....

and remember their name

I didn't check the battery before I ventured off and it started to flash

dead

so I tried not to loose it completely

because it is

SUCH

a long walk back to

roomontheleft

to get a fresh one

you know

so many steps........

by the time I got back to my piece of real estate

they had come up in the next door yard and

still making noises at me

stood for a second and posed

hhhhiiiiiiisssssss

I told them to calm down and just

vogue!!!!!

the Japanese Maple is turning colour

and the sun was coming through the leaves

soon everything will be bare and naked

but for now it is still

beautiful

so let's enjoy it

for those of you who are interested about the loss of photo room

apparently

we have a limit on how many photos we can post

FREE

I had to buy

20 GB

of extra room to continue

from

GOOGLE

they put up a notice when I was loading the pics that said

oops you're out of space

come child give me

$5

 and

 I will grant you more space upon which to post your

images

Blogger

Google

and

Picasa

have joined forces

and linked together

and

this is how they stay in business

$5

at a time

who knew!!!!

?

hey for $5 I'm game

that is only one ball of yarn

.....................................

if you're buying the

good stuff!!!!!!
