Not-So-Speechless Sunday - Seven Gives Me Goose Bumps!

By
Education & Training

Here is a mixed post from Red Lodge, Montana!  It is both a bird post and a tribute.

Good things some times happen in seven.  That is so far the story for the Montreal Canadiens who had to play two back to back series that went to seven games and won both time!  To be honest, both games gave me goose bumps and that brings me to the following tribute (yes, another one!) to my favorite sports team: the Montreal Canadiens.

Montreal starts game 1 of the Eastern Conference in a few minutes against Philadelphia and here is another post that I hope will bring them good luck.

Can you see the number of geese in this photo?

And this one?

Notice that someone is watching them with lots of interest in the background!

And here is another photo of the splendid seven!

If the current series against the Philadelphia Flyers goes to game seven, it will again give me goose bumps but if the Montreal Canadiens do the same as in rounds 1 and 2 and win in seven, it will be heaven!

Go Habs Go!

Barbara,

I would have never guessed you had one of those too!   Believe it or not, I was cheering for the Bruins in their game 7 as I think there is no bigger rivalery than between the Canadiens and Bruins.

Andrea,

You found the Canadian version.  How more fitting!   And I realized the count is good as well.   This is a very beautiful photo. You should also post it on your blog so that others can enjoy.   I certainly did!   Thank you.

Susan,

You can say that is the power of the zoom lens on my old camera (the new one has even more optical zoom).   Congrats on the Flyers winning game one and in convincing fashion.  I still see a game seven down the road.   It is a bumpy road to the Stanley Cup with lots of ups and downs.  :)

Tony,

Some fun observations which I was lucky to capture with my camera!    It was even more fun hearing the sounds they were making as they were traveling together in a hurry.

Al and Peggy,

Now I know you two like 7 and especially 007.  Wait till you the sign/number that I had when I first log on AR this morning!  (check out my first of two Monday posts: Some Signs that Say Seven

Myrl,

Thank you.  Interesting things seem to happen around me when I travel in and around Red Lodge with a camera!   :)

Marc,

It would have taken 7 goals for the Habs to win game 1.

But the 7 that I am expected is 7 games again to win this series against Philadelphia.

Only time will tell!   :)

Paul,

I did have a pretty good weekend.   Could we be Monday today?   Time to find a Moose Monday photo!   Thanks for visiting this post (plenty more goose bumps expected in the near future) and have a great beginning to your week!

Those are the most adorable photos.  Let's hope Thursday they pull a 7 out of the hat and shoot 7 goals into the Philly net.

Jenny,

Thank you.  It is not every day where I mix nature sight seeings with hockey content.   If the Montreal Canadiens do score 7 goals in one game, I will be screaming from the top of my lungs and probably lose my voice.  I will also have to pay these 7 geese another visit and feature them in many more posts!   :)

Gerry,

Too bad they weren't swans. Then you could have had seven swans aswimming. Nice. :)

I am glad for your "7" good luck spree! However, I like the pictures are even better! Even the one with the cat in it.

Coming to you from Texas......

ROFL! Great title. And beautiful geese! Just don't get too close. My brother still has a scar on his finger, where he poked it through at a zoo. LOL!

I was at a safe distance when I took the photos.   Thank you for the positive feedback.  :)

For some reason, I'm seeing 14 geese. I wonder if it has anything to do with jalapeño nachos and margaritas on this Memorial Day weekend. Hmmm.

Russel,

The number of geese you see is directly correlated with the number of margaritas you had.  :)

Then again, it also depends which photo you are looking.   You can spot 14 in the last one with a reflection that seems to come from a margarita glass.
