Feeling a bit stodgy and lazy this morning, and about 20 minutes later than usual. 20 minutes earlier made a big difference, so does 20 minutes later. Full commuting has begun! Very noisy walk to the park - cars pulling out, honking, zooming. People walking to the train, radios, talking to each other, on phones, etc.
The geese were already at the beach, being not fed by an admirer. At least that's what I'll call it. The three cygnets are practicing their flying. Long flight, close to the water. In fact, they ware actually walking along the top of the lake while they were taking off, for a couple of hundred feet. before they managed to get up in the air - and it was only a few feet into the air. It must take incredible shoulder muscles for them to actually fly high up in the air. Explains why Papa Swan is so fearsome!
And then there were the lily pads. The picture is from the seats along the Lullwater, just north of Peninsula Meadow. You can sit on the benches, watch the water, and the fantastic strips of yellow day lily flowers across the way. So quiet, peaceful, and lovely.
Day off tomorrow, because they are spraying the whole park with anti-West Nile virus chemicals. Do not want our wonderful canine companion exposed to such poisons.....of course, it is now quite late and pouring, so I wonder if all the poison will be washed away by the morning.
