Yesterday after our run, while I was taking a picture of the worn out dogs, I spotted a couple of geese on the front pond. Even with a decoy we seldom get geese and the pond was pretty much frozen over.
I snuck outside to see if I could get a picture before they took of. They were swimming in the very small area where their weight had broken through the ice.
They hung around until I got within a few yards of them. I was afraid they were trapped and couldn't fly off...
but alas, when I got too close, they did.
