Canada Geese Everywhere

They are everywhere. In any direction there are flocks of Canadian geese. As is our usual routine on Saturday morning we take a ride along the GW Parkway along the Potomac River to McLean. We have breakfast at McLean Family Restaurant and then go for groceries at either the Safeway across the street or Harris Teeter in Tysons. All along the drive starting at the Washington Monument, Memorial Bridge, Kennedy Center, and Roosevelt Island the geese are feasting on the grass, floating in the river, or flying in unison overhead. When I worked in the Midwest there was a nest of Canadian geese on the grounds. We were told to stay well clear of it because these birds can be quite nasty. So I enjoy observing them from a distance. With the freezing temperatures we have had around here the geese must be disappointed. But for the moment there is plenty of sunshine and great scenery. Who can beat that?
