Well honestly I was feeling kinda well you know anxious and depressed from all the horrific news of the year and needed cheering up.
So off to the park we went. Drove in the Chaparral Road entrance and parked by the fishing pier. This place is huge, includes a dog park and Xeriscape demonstration garden among many other things.
The geese must have known I needed them. A whole gaggle showed up and surrounded me. Their leader approached me first and was not shy. After a few seconds of apprehension I realized they were very sweet and only interested in the food, not my fingers or toes.
Their warmth and simple curiosity filled me with necessary sunshine in this dark year. Thank you my lovely geese for being so sweet.
And as for the pair of ducks that showed up, my finger is sore but okay. Your enthusiasm made me laugh as you jumped up to grab food from my hand until I had no more.
Second visit their leader remembered me, ran right up and stood on my feet while politely waiting for food! I’m sure if I visited each day this particular goose would accept petting. So cool.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs.

2015
A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting.
Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

Great geese photos! Next time I’ll buy them some lettuce.
Good idea, plus I noticed they like grapes too.
