"Summer Guests"

This family of geese raised their family on our pond one summer. They all made it to maturity that summer, unlike so many other times. There is so much undergrowth around the pond that its hard for the geese to find safe grazing spots except in my back yard. The daily visits are so enjoyable till it comes to walking where they have been...I call it "goose grease". One year a snapping turtle grabbed hold of the leg of the male (I think) and though it lived it was a touch and go for a while, a sad situation. He went to the other side of the pond alone for several days before he could come back to us to finish healing. It took all summer and they stayed in my back yard the entire time. I prayed earnestly for him, poor fellow. Year after year they come but sadly the fox are around also so we don't always have "Summer Guests".  This painting has won several awards for me in the Atlanta area.
