Making a trip to town I stopped at a pond to check out the waterfowl and was pleasantly surprised with finding a family of geese and ducks settling in on the safety of the water as it was getting later in the day.

There was nothing at the side of the pond by the road but as I zoomed in on the far side I found a family of Canada Geese bopping upside down feeding in the water. The goslings had their mature feather making them hard to distinguish from the adults.

While I was watching the geese feeding a raft of canvas back ducks and mature ducklings floated in behind them plus a grebe swam by.

On the way home I stopped to take some photos of the field that was full of brown eyed susans in bloom. They are quite a hardy plant for it was still blooming like mad even though we had a lot of hot dry days. I love their bright blossoms.

On one of the blooms there was an interesting bug which must have been sucking up some of the sweet nectar out of the flower.

Another flower that was out in bloom was the indian paintbrush with it's beautiful pink blossoms.

I will leave you with one last wildflower that was quite abundant along the roadside - the lovely purple fireweed.
