Lake Margaret: The Tixth Great Lake?

When one of the big home builders in St Thomas, Ontario decided to develop a piece of land on the south side, they launched an interesting marketing campaign and called this subdivision Lake Margaret. Then, decided to nick-name it the Sixth Great Lake.






 And this is it! Nice, big houses all around it and this park.


 The Canada Geese love it! 
Doesn't this scene look peaceful and idyllic?




Well..... Maybe not so much for the homeowners.




       Fences anyone?




Awww! Baby ducks!




I must say I had to keep my eyes peeled on the grass as I walked to and from the car for the goose fertilizer!


....I'm glad it's not my back yard!

(But then, I live on a real Great Lake!)


All of these photos were again shot and loaded directly from my Nikon P90 and then posted without alteration of any kind.

Nature

I'd like to introduce you to Clarice and Cornelius Canada-Goose and Blake Heron.






Gawk! Gawk! Clarice!


What Cornelius! I'm eating.... Can't you see?


Gawk! There's some more *&%# tourists coming and she's got a camera! 


Oh! Do my hips look fat in these feathers?


Blake interjects: "You're giving them your best side dearie!"







Here we are in North Carolina and this pair of Canada geese beat us to it! 


This pond is in the middle of a new build subdivision in Mooresville behind the famous barn. The high end homes that encroach on the south side of the pond can barely be seen in the top left hand corner of this upper photo.


I'm always glad when I see a pair of geese, seeing as they mate for life. There's nothing more sad than spotting just one goose. I know humans sometimes get way carried away, but if we still mated for life as convention dictated not that many years ago, then this world we live in today would be a different place.


Considering my first two choices of mates, that world would NOT be a better one!
