I spend a lot of time in the car during the school year, chauffeuring the kids. There’s a gang of Canada geese that live around a pond next to the middle school, so I took my camera with me when I took our youngest to school. On the way home, I stopped by the side of the road to photograph the wildflowers.

It was gloomy yesterday morning and there were only a couple of pairs of Canada geese at the pond. There was one white goose with them that I had never seen before.

It was a gloomy day and there weren’t many butterflies out but I found this one accidentally. He was very attached to this particular flower and turned in circles for a long time as he mined the pollen.

When I went hiking a couple of weeks ago, it seemed like all the flowers I saw were blue or white. Yesterday they were all white and yellow.

When I went back to pick up my son from school, the sun had come out and the white goose was gone. But this pair of Canada geese caught my eye.
