  • Bottom’s Up on the Esplanade

    We were walking the Esplanade photographing fall foliage when we noticed Canada Geese feeding in the canoeway.

    At times, most of the flock were bottoms up with just a lone guard keeping watch.

    This goose seemed to be conducting a master class in full body, underwater extension.

    Sadly, Canada Geese are still a major problem on the Esplanade. Here's hoping more effort is put into programs like GeesePeace to counter this man-made problem and to educate the public about the dangers of feeding waterfowl.

    Busy bee buzzed by,

    Stopped us in our tracks.

    Followed the beeline to the blossom,

    Where this friend of hungry humans

    Helped mother nature turn flower into fruit.
