I picked up the Poodle Prince on Saturday evening and he will stay with me until next Saturday while his parents are away. Such a good dog and such good company - and seven days in a row. Today was glorious with temps in the high 70s and we walked in the 'big park' (Tri-Cities). Something I've noticed before seemed to be even more evident today. The waterfowl all seem to have their own section of the park. There were about a hundred Canadian geese on the grassy slope on the south side of the lake.
A gaggle of white geese had staked out a patch of water by the northeast corner.
The poopy coots were doing their thing by the picnic grounds on the east shore.
And this fellow was just letting everyone mingle together - white geese, coots, pintails, mallards, and maybe even a Egyptian goose. Though how he could stand to lay down where they have all been doing their business is beyond me. Guess maybe he is desperate for company.

The white geese photo is wonderful! I love the way you got the water rippling and the lovely green reflections from the nearby trees.
That man reminds me of a man who used to sit in the park in Christchurch, with a knotted handkerchief over his head, & feed the birds. They would sit all over him, on his head, shoulders, knees. He wore an old garberdine raincoat, & was covered from head to foot in bird excrement! Tourists loved to take his photo!
