the awkward stage

lc2728


I often see Canadian Geese, adults, and babies, but it was a delight to see some adolescents. Teens that liked hanging out with mom even!

And just like many mothers of human teens, it appears that mother has a headache and would like to escape for a while.

But the teenagers just keep following her, when she tries to scold them, they bury their heads in the water rather than talk back.  I think mom's getting a few gray hairs now, don't you?

  2. She is, but at least she can sport the wet look and keep her youth that way!

    THEN she will get gray hair/feathers! :)
