Today’s view of the pond
To what can our life on earth be likened?
To a flock of geese,
alighting on the snow.
Sometimes leaving a trace of their passage.~ Su shi
The snow is flying on this cold Sunday in March, and I’m just settling back in at home after spending the weekend with my granddaughters and their parents. It was lovely, and one of my favorite ways to spend a weekend.
Stars on stage
Yesterday I watched as one of my beautiful granddaughters performed in a dance competition. I sat with the other beautiful granddaughter — the youngest — while we waited for her sister to perform. We colored, we cut, we pasted, and we made butterflies dance and flutter through the air as girls danced and fluttered on the stage.
Dance, dance, dance
South of here, where the girls and their parents live, they had the most beautiful snowfall. I think they may have gotten more snow down there than we had up here, but we’ll probably make up for it with lake-effect snow tonight.
Busy hands
That’s it from the Bogs for today. After two days of not checking blogs or email, I am even farther behind than ever. Hopefully, I’ll get caught up soon. Thank you so much for visiting. I hope your weekend was filled with magic and, if you were very lucky, a few butterflies of your own. 🙂

snow and geese go together like bread and butter.
So they do, Terry. 🙂
Wonderful and artistic image of the geese in the snow.
Thank you, Phil. 🙂
I’ve caught a bugger of a cold virus — so thanks for these beautiful images. I’m always appreciative of your photos and words, yet today, as I linger listlessly about the house, I am even more so.
I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, eM. I hope that virus goes away soon. In the meantime, get plenty of rest and take care of yourself.
very nice!! Love the movement you captured.
Thank you, Derrick. 🙂
Beautiful view of the pond. Love the stars on stage!
Thank you, Amy. 🙂
gorgeous, bright, beautiful images.. you are a very talented woman.. c
Thank you so much, Cee. 🙂
The best way to spend a weekend! The colors of your life are every where. I love the dance pictures!
Thank you, CM. 🙂
Looks like a very colorful weekend.
Love the “snow” geese picture ….
Thanks, Bearyweather. 🙂 I almost labeled it “snow geese,” but they’re not. I saw snow geese for the first time recently. Didn’t have a chance to get any photos, though.
It’s okay to stay away from all that “checking” to just “be” for a couple of days. I do that every weekend. Pretty sure no one notices but me. Love you photos.
We are in for another storm tonight. I am tired of shoveling.
Thanks, Adela. 🙂 I’m a little tired of the snow, too. It’s coming this way tomorrow.
“Stars on stage” is so enchanting! I cannot think of a better way to spend a weekend than to be visiting grandchildren. I still remember how thrilled I was whenever my grandparents traveled to come see me in various childhood stage performances…
Thank you, Barbara. 🙂 I hope my granddaughters feel the same way.
fun and beauty, inspiring thanks robin 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks, Christine. 🙂
What a fun weekend.
Nice (chilly) picture of geese – most appropriate quote
Thank you, PhilosopherMouse. 🙂
Very creative pictures of the dancing girls — beautiful!
Thank you, Becky. 🙂
I found some Snow Geese of my own this past weekend. Ah, I remember going to see my daughter dance in her recitals. Such an exciting time for your granddaughter.
It is very exciting for her, Scott. She loves it. 🙂 I keep hoping to come across some Snow Geese in a place where I can actually get a shot of them. Usually they’re way out in a field.
You need to find where they are resting when not feeding in the fields. Any large lakes near those fields?
Good idea, Scott. Thank you. 🙂
