Of course we went for a walk today! And it was a gorgeous day, only a little too cool in the shade. This one of the many huge old eucalyptus trees.
When we first moved into our house there was an 'imitation' stream and quite a large pond in the park directly behind us, but one day a crew came and dug it all up and put in grass. We suspected that they had an insurance problem because there was no fence to keep children from getting in the pond. Our stream was very much like this one at Tri-Cities. You can tell it is a kid magnet by the bikes at rest at the top of the picture.
When I first saw these geese making a commotion I thought they were having a 'nooner'. And maybe they were! But another goose took exception and came in for the attack. I've never seen geese trying to kill each other, it was amazing how strong they are and how hard they battered each other with beaks, wings and necks. The fight continued after they got out of the water. But I finally walked on, so I don't know if one of them killed the other or not. You never know what you'll see in a park, do you?
