Best wishes to all my Flickr friends for happy holidays. Stay safe. I know where I want to be once it warms up.
Once I'm put my skis away, you can find me on Twitter
When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.
Wish all Flickr friends a very merry Christmas!
♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥

Can greylag geese be white?
It can be white, completely gray (like the wild form), or somewhere in-between.
Are greylag geese native to UK?
There are two subspecies of Greylag Goose recognised: Western Greylag A. a. anser from Iceland, and north and central Europe; wintering from Scotland, south to northern Africa and east to Iran.
The greylag goose is a large, bulky, goose with a big head, and the largest of the grey goose species. It was one of the first species of animals to be domesticated in Ancient Egypt about 3000 years ago and is a typical farmyard goose. The domestic breed is known as A. a. domesticus and can interbreed with Anser anser. Many birds seen in the UK outside of the winter months are re-colonised from domestic populations and are often semi-tame. It is seen as a pest due to overgrazing of agricultural crops and is listed in Schedule 2 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, meaning it can be killed or taken outside of the close season.

Breeding birds: 46,000 pairs UK wintering birds: 140,000 British birds and 88,000 from Iceland

Dark, threatening supercell storm clouds dominate the sky over a vast, open field, creating a dramatic contrast with the bright horizon. A dirt road stretches into the distance, flanked by tall grasses and sparse trees.

We took a nice walk on the Black Diamond Trail today. It was in the 70's and sunny. Perfect day to get outside and get some fresh air.

The Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill. Great Egrets were hunted nearly to extinction for their plumes in the late nineteenth century.
"May you never be too grown up to search the skies on Christmas Eve.” — Unknown
"It's always good for us to pause
And think awhile of Santa Claus--
That jolly symbol we revere
When we approach the changing year.
Behind his beard so long and white,
In which our children take delight,
There beats a heart from color free
Which bids all children 'come to me.'" — Marshall M. Morgan
