I saw this fly fisherman at Studleys Pond in Rockland MA, and asked him for permission to photograph him. He was very obliging!
He was catching one sunfish every couple of minutes!

Days 79 and 80/365
Meanwhile, down at the pond.......
Meanwhile, down at the pond.......
The ducks are surrounding Papa Swan......they are also surrounding Mama on the the nest like little soldiers, but it's difficult to get a photo of them at the nest due to limited access with all of the greenery.
I hope you enjoyed your weekend!

Abington Butterfly Garden
Days 76 and 77/365
The swans are nesting right across the street from the Butterfly Garden in Abington MA. (I just got home from visiting the nest....still no babies). The other day I walked through the butterfly garden with my camera. There were no butterflies (I notice they usually don't visit the garden until much later in the summer for some reason). Here's a couple of pictures I took there.

Day 74
Went to Jenny Pond in Plymouth MA this weekend and found this adorable Swan family:
How adorable is this signet?
Day 75
On the other hand, still waiting for the arrival of the signets in Abington. Mom was adding more materials to the nest today.
And she was doing some preening
She stood up just for a few seconds long enough to show me the eggs
Dad was nowhere around when I was there today. These eggs should be hatching any time now and I can't wait to see the signets.

Families
Days 71 and 72/365
Families come in all kinds of ways.......and the best things about families is that they stick together and they have LOVE!!

There are all sorts of water fowl down at the pond in Rockland. What struck me was this white domestic goose family........there were three adults and the one baby gosling. All of the other geese at the pond were Canada Geese. These three domestic geese spent the entire time wandering around together. All three adults were very protective of the gosling. I found it unusual that there were three adults......typically there is just a Mom and Dad with the baby/babies. It was so nice to see and it warmed my heart for some reason that these four were truly a "family".
