Goslings....

sorry, they are from a phone as I took them at the restaurant my dad, son, and I went to for dinner. Looking off the decking there were some goslings following around their mother...

fun to watch them, they were really cute. No zoom on the phone camera :(

Oh well

3. Awww it's little floofy time!
Thanks for the pics! Can't wait to get my first glimpse of a long line of floofies munching on grass by a pond. We used to live on a lake, and every spring we'd get excited all over again watching the line of floofies paddling behind mama duck or goose along the shoreline. :loveya:

Hope all is well on your end.

15. Thanks for the pics. They're so different from their parents. It's interesting how
they gradually morph to look like an adult goose.
