In Part 1 of 2 above, we showed you what a rather dark and rainy summer we have been experiencing this Summer of 2023.
Well we hit a sunny spell (of just several days) and took advantage of it to visit Hillstrand Park, a 15 minute walk up the street from our condo.
In the first photo below, we leave the street and head down the path to the pond. Do you all see what we mean about a "Sunny" Day?
In the above photo, we have reached the end of the first path, we then turn to the right and head for Hillstrand Pond.
We come to a very pleasant bridge.
Very nice!
HILLSTAND POND
To the very best of our memories, this is the first time that Patti and I have ever seen a pair of Canadian Geese nesting here at Hillstrand Pond! They have two precious baby Goslings!
It would appear that the Gander (male Goose) is telling the Mallard Ducks to "keep your distance"!
Well Mister Gander, it looks like the ducks listened to you!
And home to their nest on the island in the center of the pond the family of four glided away.
Lots of Mallard Ducks.
And there you have it! Our wonderful visit to Hillstrand Pond on a very pleasant afternoon.
Cap and Patti
