Watery Wednesday: Geese In The River


Saturday I stopped by the park that sits on the Ohio River where I took the cabin photo from yesterday's post. I glanced down the river and wondered what I was seeing.
I drove my car and parked where I could get a little better look. It was lightly snowing and very cold but the geese seemed to be enjoying themselves as they swam out about halfway and then swam back toward shore. Be sure to enlarge this one to see the better detail.

  2. Love the bottom one, Carletta. I clicked to enlarge it, as you suggested. I could even see the seedpods on the tree!

  5. It seems geese just like being in the water no matter the weather, huh? Nice shot! :-)

  6. What a neat picture. Good thing you decided to take a better look. What kind of tree is that with the round fruits. Not Christmas decorations--LOL. MB

  7. Somehow you can just never get enough geese pictures. They are always around and willing to pose. The tree in your photo looks like a Sycamore.
    Happy WW.

  8. Interesting pattern. Almost like they've retained their "v-shaped" ranking status in the water ... but that's geese. Still, birds of a feather flock together.

  12. You have a very great location, indeed! I would surely take walks in the park if I could see a wonderful sight like this.

  14. Doesn't seem much like swimming weather! They must have some heavy duty down!

  15. Carletta: That was such a real photo I could almost feel the geese honking, great job.

  16. Nice shots - I can almost hear the honking! That's one thing about those geese, they never go anywhere quietly!!

  17. Hi Carletta, this was a nice peaceful rest stop, watching the geese while it was snowing. I almost felt rested peeking in on them.
    I liked your Ruby Tuesday Wooden Carrollers. Happy Rubby Tuesday and thank you for checking out my old red truck.

  18. Oh, Carletta! I love the sound effects! I look at those geese and all I can think is BRR-RRR-rrr--it is cold out here!

    ReplyDelete
  19. They all wear down jackets that are waterproof. You could swim in the cold water if you had a suit like that. Thanks for braving the elements to bring us pictures from the cold side. Pappy

  20. Must be a cold swim, but I guess Geese don't mind :-) Lovely!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Sound effects too! Cool. I keep hoping some geese will fly by here but so far Hancock seems to be off their path. Interesting how they even seem to swim in a formation of sorts.

  22. I'm constantly amazed at how ducks can and will swim in such cold water, but as Jan (Murietta365) pointed out they have an extra layer of down that we don't have. LOL

  23. Lovely to know the geese are somewhere, since they have left my area. I still see them flying over in the mornings, though.
    And I love the sound effects!
    Thanks for sharing.

  27. I like how you demonstrated that if something grabs your attention, its a world worth exploring a little closer. Happy Holidays.

  30. Hi!
    Those are some brave Geese. It looks really cold there. And are those Buck Eyes on that tree? Thanks for stopping by my place.

  32. The sounds accompanying your photos are lovely; you have captured the sense of their presence so well. I love to hear geese in the late fall.

  35. I like how you framed the trees around the water and geese, as if we're peeking at them. So serene and cozy.
