Almost Wordless Wednesday ~ Synchronized Swimmers

By
Real Estate Agent with Front Gate Real Estate Broker 11085

This weekend I took my granddaughter to Winners Circle Park and the Nature Trail in Flowood. She wanted to meet some friends and we ended up walking on the trail.

It was a typical scorching Mississippi afternoon. As we walked over the bridge to leave, these four Canadian Geese were swimming equally spaced as if they were synchronized swimmers. On cue, as I raised my camera, they turned and swam to the right. This is the photo I captured.

Pat,

How fun to see those synchronized swimmers.  We just got back from a walk to the ocean via the marshes which are behind our home, and we met a bunch of these guys who were hoping we had food for them.  A

Pat - Geese are great examples of teams.  The use the same formation when they fly.

There is a large population of Canadian Geese at our local park.  They are pretty good synchronized swimmers alright.  But, boy are they messy on the lawns around the pond.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel - I enjoy my nature walks, and I know you do too. Here's another favorite geese photo, from 2015.

Sheila Anderson - thank you for letting me know that it takes a while for the photo to load. I thought they were automatically resized when uploading them, but I've noticed other pics slow to load as well. Hmmm. Not sure what to do about it.

Hannah Williams - that's so cool! I loved watching the synchronized swim teams on television growing up. One of them could have been YOU!

Myrl Jeffcoat - you are right about the mess. Many residents dislike them for this reason, that, plus they destroy the lawn.

And to think that once upon a time I was a hunter and used to shoot them. Now I am just a camera man.

Hi Endre Barath, Jr. I'm here, but I'm not qualified to judge..

So Pat Starnes-Front Gate Realty Is it true that there is as much water in the air as in the pond?

Joe Pryor - I had no idea it was legal to shoot Canadian Geese. I guess during certain seasons? Anyway, not in this area, although there are some people I'm sure would like there to be a season for it. We have gaggles of them here.

Debe Maxwell, CRS - It's very cool that our very own Hannah Williams was once a synchronized swimmer. I'm very impressed.

Endre Barath, Jr. - Do I need to stalk Bill's page to see what you mean by that comment? I will head over there to see what kind of scorekeeper he is!

Bill Roberts - See my reply to Endre, above. I don't know how much water is in the air but it was so hot that day, it wouldn't have taken much for me to do the backstroke with the geese!
