Some things just never cease to amaze me. I guess some things shouldn’t amaze me, but then I don’t mind that some people have considered me to be naive, half-witted, or not-in-the-know about things that still bring about a little wonder in me.
At a doctor’s visit a few days ago on an overcast day, a flock of geese landed in the grass beside the parking lot just as we were walking out to our truck. This in itself is not that amazing so much as the way they kept moving closer to the vehicles and didn’t seem to mind us as we approached them.
Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t just dumbly walk right up to them calling “Here, goosey goosey goosey.” But they ended up right in front of the truck, and to get to the truck we had to walk right up to them.
They didn’t hiss at us or anything, and they even posed for a few pictures.
Once we were home, we had another visiter waiting for us in our yard.
This little rabbit is much smaller than our rabbit friend that I have posted about before, but this one also didn’t mind me taking his picture. I just stooped down underneath a tree and snapped away.
What amazed me about this day, and a lot of other days, was that I don’t live way out in the country, or even on the fringes of town. I live right in a populated town, and yet we see wildlife like this every day, the bulk of which I see but don’t manage to get a picture of.
I lived in the middle of the woods for years, and I didn’t see wildlife this often.
One final thing on this day that never ceases to amaze me and never will:
I can never get enough of a beautiful evening sky!
Have an amazing, wonderful day!

I like your little but bold rabbit visitor – don’t eat him!
Lol, Frizz, they are pretty bold around here, for sure! Actually, if it’s fixed right, rabbit can be very tasty. But the rabbits here are too sweet, so I will spare them from joining me for dinner!
On my phone back later 😊
Okay, I really do need to remove the sunflowers right NOW, lol. As soon as I press “Post” on this comment, I will get that done.
Hello, thank you for adding my blog as a resource to your blog 🙂 I am following you now. Melody
Well, it had baby rabbits in it, so how could I NOT post it, lol! Thanks so much for following, and I am now following your delightful blog as well!
Love Canadian Geese! Wonderful shots~
Thank you, Cindy! Lucky me that the geese just stood there, lol — I leave the in-flight kind of pictures to you, since you do a much better job than me on catching birds in motion!
those are beautiful! We have tons of rabbits here and we live in a heavily populated area as well… and a family of foxes but we don’t see them very often.
Oh, I hope one day you get lucky and get some photos of the foxes! Isn’t it strange how some animals seem to adapt to people being around? I guess out in the woods or countryside they are just better at hiding from people — who can blame them, lol!
Great shots as always Becky. We have those Canadian geese as well but the only time you see them is like 4 in the morning crossing a couple of roads
Yeah, lol, certainly not a great time to photograph them, for sure! Apparently the particular flock in this post needed to stop and rest and I just got lucky that it happened right in front of me!
We live right in Branson, Mo. on a very very busy resort– & we have deer– fox– rabbits– turtles– squirrels– ducks– all kinds of birds– etc etc etc etc– & we feed & water them all!!! We have lived in the boonies of Kansas before & not had all the wildlife we have in our yard now!!! 🙂
Funny how animals can sometimes be — I guess wildlife is just getting so used to people anymore that it doesn’t bother them to be in populated places. That’s kind of sad, actually, but I like having the photo opportunities!
