I spotted this #CommonMerganser couple on my #morningWalk and tried to quietly approach and catch them floating into frame. Then I thought- video! And they must have heard my mental outburst!

This #canadagoose couple had to move off the walking path as I approached. Into the freshly fallen snow they stomped…

Thinking of last summer. It was a real rollercoaster ride for us, but this was some of the saving moments… my first summer with my inflatable #paddleboard which gave me some amazing moments of peace…. #silentSunday except for the rhythmic paddling…
