These parents have great
responsibility, yet,
they are confident.

***If you are in the Chicago area, stop by my booth and say hello on Saturday, June 22nd at North Aurora’s Art and Craft Show, Creativity at the Crossroads (25 E State St, Aurora, IL). I’ll be selling my framed photos and books.
My son, artist Joseph Cannella, will also have a booth right next to mine.
Beautiful photo.
Thank you, Dawna. All the best to you.
All the best to you too Mary.
So many of them! Seems like a hell of responsibility, but very cute, nonetheless 🙂
Right? Maybe they’re all adopted.
Lovely photo and the wonderful haiku has captured what I love most about wild animal parents: They may be clueless or short-sighted in some catastrophies, but they are indeed confident! 🌹
Exactly! They just do what’s natural. Thank you for commenting!
There sure are a lot of goslings for one set of parents! The image and haiku are great. I’m sorry I won’t be in the Chicago area to see your booth at the art and craft show, but I wish you and your son good luck. 🙂
Thank you, Nancy. I would love to meet you in person. It’s supposed to be very hot, so I may have to cut out early. I don’t do well in the heat.
It looks like they’ve opened a day care for goslings 🙂 Canada Geese are definitely confident and protective parents. Nice Haiku. Maggie
Thank you, Maggie. It sure looks like a daycare, doesn’t it?
This is beautiful, Mary.
Thank you, Despain. Have the best day.
Great haiku for an amazing image!!!
Excellent observation, Mary!
Very nice! I love watching geese families.
They stay together for life and both help parent. Thank you for commenting, Dorothy.
Oh my gosh, how many gooselings did they have? 🐤🐤🐤 The most I’ve seen have been 6 or 7! That’s a football team! 😜 Thanks for sharing Mary and all the best with your craft show my friend! 💖
Thank you, Kym. Can you imagine what she was saying to her mate as those eggs kept coming out?
Guurrrlllll, she was probably squawking big time Mary! LOL 😂😝🤣
Nice poem! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a huge # of goslings… usually, there’s 4-6..,
Maybe they were babysitting. 🙂
Great shot!!!!
Thank you, Dawn.
Beautifully leading the way.
Thank you, Edward.

Thank you, Siri. I appreciate your comment.
What a beautiful scene! Really amazing.
poetic and sweet. great combination visual and word play
Thank you, my friend.
Yes, very confidant indeed. The ducklings are well managed, safe and content. That is how young ducklings should experience the pond, as should children in any setting!
So true, Chuckster. Unfortunately, too many of our world’s children are in harm’s way.
🤗
That’s so cool, hope it went well for both you and your son.
We made the best out of the event. The weather was unbearably hot and humid so attendance was low.
I can imagine, I think there has been major heatwaves this summer.
Fortunately here in the Midwest US, weather never hangs around long. It was 20 degrees cooler yesterday and up and down throughout the week ahead.
Beautiful poem and photo. I wish you & your family a joyous & blessed July!
Thank you, Jean. The same to you. I do love the summer.
