turtles on a log

After shopping for groceries this morning we went to the park for a walk as the day was beautiful and warm. It was just too tempting to go out and enjoy the day so we fell into temptation :>)
The park was full of people riding bikes and walking. One little guy was chasing a Canada Goose and the goose was running away. I worried that the goose might decide to turn and hit the boy with its wing. That can actually break an adult arm so what might it do to a child. However the goose got away and the boy was fine .
My favourites were out in force today sunning themselves on rocks and logs. That is the turtles that I love so much. They delight me each time I see them in the park. The pond has a lot of life in it, big fish, small fish , large goldfish and koi, that people have decided they no longer want so they release them in the park. The same has happened with the turtles which were small and cute when parents bought them from the pet store for their little ones. Of course Red Eared Sliders do not stay small for long and are no longer a good pet for kiddies.They bite!! So off to the pond they went and have survived very well in that environment. There are ducks in the pond too and seagulls causing trouble as the will do. I love the wild animal life.
We came home for a bit and then Ray took me out for dinner at the Keg. Prime rib horse radish and gravy, baked potato with sour crem and chives, warm bread ,three cheese butter, oh so good and dessertands coffee for afters.
It was a delightful day!!! :>))
