A Warm Winter Day

We have had warm, sunny days the last couple of days. It is quite a contrast after the snow and intense rain. I took the boys to a local garden this afternoon to feed the ducks. There is a produce stand down the street that sells big bags of duck food for $1.00.
Here they are feeding the ducks and geese. Christian likes to feed the birds, Liam needs some coaxing to share the food. I have explained to him that I won't buy him food if he will not share it.



There was a large flock of Canadian Geese flying back and forth over the gardens while we were there.

The boys love watching and imitating the birds.


A couple of serious photographers where at the pond by us and they observed how great the shadows were. I decided to grab a photo of the our shadows.

I am always asking Christian not to run. He was running across a wooden bridge that was covered with duck poop and he slipped and fell. His hands and clothes were covered with it after the fall. I rest my case.

There were a couple sneak peaks of spring at the park.

I used my macro setting for this photo.

It will be interesting to see what spring brings with the wacky weather of this winter! Too much snow, now early warm--those poor rhodies are going to be all confused!

Love seeing pics of our old stomping grounds (and our friends!)

Wow, spring signs already... I'm sure we will get snow a couple of times more here before we see anything green.
Lovely photos, looks like you had a fun day at the park. The shadow-pic is really cool.

my little one does the same thing -- runs and runs and runs, no matter how often I ask her not to. my husband gets onto me about it, but I'm just trying to prevent what I know is going to happen!

great photos -- looks like you all had a lovely day!
