A-Z Challenge 2021 - Photo Shoot - G: George, Golf, Geese

 It these days of throw-away culture I still wonder what litter lout abandoned - 


We frequently see geese flying over our village, but they never land.

Just up the road from my daughter's home in Michigan it's a different story.

When it comes to golf I'm spoilt for choice so I will stay at the Homestead on Lake Michigan - the freshwater resort.

I nearly forgot to add a shot that could have been in 'F' but falls here as well.

Birds - Sunday Stamps II

On our recent trip to America we found these Canadian birds just across the Detroit River on Belle Isle.

That's Canada on the other Bank
I wonder how well the birds on these American stamps are known across there.

USA - Songbirds in the snow, 4 August 2016
  • Golden Crown Ringlet
  • Cedar Waxwing
  • Northern Cardinal
  • Red Breasted Nuthatch
I thing the cardinal is the only one I've seen. The Northern Cardinal has been adopted as the State bird for Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia.

For more birds join in this week at Sunday-Stamps-II-94.
