Canada Geese Showing Off

I was having some fun on a cold but sunny day this week. I was in Monroe Falls which is the next town down on the Cuyahoga River. They have a little park and a bike path that runs to Kent. The Canada Geese were on the shore and got into the water to put on a show. That is snow run-off and would be really cold. I loved this shot and the way the shadow allowed you to see the goose paddling in the current. Tom - Ohio Nature - from Columbus was from this town. Tom and his wife Megan have a baby due in the next week or so. There were a pair that jumped into the water to paddle around. There used to be a dam here just like in Kent but it was also removed. This dam was an overflow dam so there was a man made waterfall here.

I really enjoyed all the posing that the geese were doing for me. Check out the little ice covered branch in the bottom of the photo.

I went home passed my favorite ponds in Kent and a group of geese were crossing the road. This guy hadn't finished his food before crossing the road.

The Geese really like this area and are pairing off for mating season.

I do hope my friend Michele enjoys the Canada Geese photos. May they put a smile on her face.
