Last week my plein-aire group went to Monument Valley Park. When our kids were little we'd go to this pond and catch craw-dads. The water looked so dirty, I don't think any kids play in there now. But, it was so entertaining to watch all the goslings. They all stayed together, right by the geese, moving around almost like one being. They'd swim around the pond, then climb up onto the shore and run around and search in the dirt for bugs. Then, when a dog or jogger came near, they'd run back into the pond, and start all over again. There seemed to be 5 moms and 17 babies; but, it was hard to tell.

Earlier this week I spent the day in Denver with our daughter who is a senior at the University of Denver. I went to a downtown salon for a haircut, we went out to lunch, then went to Wash(ington) Park for a warm, sunny walk. Wash Park is the kind of park that should be in the center of every city. There are walking trails, bike trails, ponds, tennis courts, playing fields, a rec center, gorgeous flower beds, and always lots of people. The ponds were filled with Canadian Geese as well as ducks and gulls. I think the birds were enjoying the weather as much as all the people. It was a great day. I have loved having her sort of nearby for college. I could occasionally visit her. She'll be moving to San Francisco in August to start her career. I won't be seeing her as much, nor will I be going for walks in Wash Park.
