Birds!

It's been busy around here. There's so much to do -- playing at the parks, playing at the house, running around doing errands, random road trips to get a car for me (yay!), taking pictures, and especially, enjoying the sunshine. We get out and do stuff. It's awesome.

Here's what we do: photograph water birds and stuff.

I learned that the red-wing blackbird spreads his wings to sing. Who knew?

He likes to feed the birds. It's just what he does. I have no explanation for absolutely how adorable and cute that is. Luckily, you can see for yourself. I just can't decide which is cuter, the cuddly baby geese or my cuddly baby boy.

The baby geese are fluffier, but the mama goose doesn't like it when I try to cuddle and hug and kiss them all over. At least, I imagine she doesn't. I don't dare try because, well.... I'm terrified of birds. It's probably a good thing I have a zoom lens.

And lets not talk about how much a gang of grownup geese scared my boy when they started fighting over the food inches away from us, stretching their necks out and hissing at each other, spreading their wings to intimidate. Oh, wait... that was me who was scared. And yes, I got caught in the crossfire and was struck by a goose wing. Turns out, I survived.
