I'm just glad you and others enjoyed it. Gray and rainy here today, though; not much chance of getting out and doing anything. <br /><br />Thank you for the birthday wishes…Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-44478688547184993252010-05-12T08:08:30.157-04:002010-05-12T08:08:30.157-04:00Vagabonde…

I'm also pleased that you enjoyed what you saw and read. <br /><br />Thank you for your nice words regarding the prose and photos. I do my best…though some days whatever creative talent I possess (if any!) works better than others.<br /><br />I'm with your husband in that I never hear a bunch Canada geese on the wing and heading my way without stopping whatever I'm doing to listen and watch, awaiting their arrival. Even here in my yard beside the river, where geese often pass overhead, above the trees or water—I still wait and watch and enjoy their fly-overs. Geese stir something almost spiritual in me—always have, since I was young.<br /><br />Anyway, I hope you return often—as a visitor or regular reader. Please feel free to comment or just say hello whenever you do. And again, thank you for your comments.Grizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-73573969556954739922010-05-12T08:08:30.158-04:002010-05-12T08:08:30.158-04:00Oh my goodness...what a perfect post.

Your pictures are lovely and your writing accompanies your pictures so well. I wish I could write this well but when I try to be creative – I think in French first – then my prose sounds translated or stilted, so it is not easy for me – that is why in a way I post only once a week or ten days on my blog. I loved the pictures of the Canada geese and family. My husband can hear them a mile away I think, and then he stops and keeps looking up until they fly over us. I like your picture of the fog over the river very much.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-60697407314663844452010-05-11T16:32:15.737-04:002010-05-11T16:32:15.737-04:00Giggles…

I have brown hair streaked with gray…but am not an ill-tempered oversized bear. (Well, maybe I am occasionally a bit of both.) <br /><br />You did not miss a number. You will not read a number.

Which, in a way, is similar to why I'm so fond of sycamores—since they are such a lovely mix of color on the leaves and bark all season long. And of course, they're a riverman's signature tree, marking, as the do, waterways large and small. <br /><br />Finally, I believe growing up is the cause of old people. :-DGrizz…………https://www.blogger.com/profile/04828454689578685330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3322683719539438825.post-31563585471361117202010-05-10T15:02:18.376-04:002010-05-10T15:02:18.376-04:00Griz
