Since my photos from yesterday were rather poor, I brought out the real camera (Nikon ) and took advantage of a day that actually feels like spring. Most of the snow is gone, except for shaded areas and places that snowdrifts built up. I tried river shots of the Common Goldeneye duck but my focus was off. I did, however manage to capture the mating pair of geese as they flew overhead.
Love that blue sky and the snow eating south wind we have today. I inspected my flower gardens, and the shoots in my previous post are tulips that my niece gave me last year, and I planted the bulbs last summer after the flowers died. Also surviving the long cold winter are dianthus and at least 1 of my 2 irises. Still waiting to see if the butterfly flower, roses, and clematis made it.
Happy is doing great- baby has stopped bouncing around, so has probably grown enough to take up most of the room. Her udder isn't quite full but it is getting there!
If you look behind the curve of her jaw, that is the melanoma. It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all; not sensitive to touch and she doesn't react at all when I touch it. So hopefully it will just lie dormant for a long time.

Arwen has been riddled with melanomas for over a decade, during which she's had a healthy foal and competed to Fourth Level! Sometimes we get lucky
I sure hope that is true for Happy! She is such a sweet mare.
Nice photos of the Geese! Exciting times at your place with a new foal coming soon!
We had a pair of geese land in the back paddock. It created much excitement. I think they thought that they could probably take me but the horses started running around they left. Complaining loudly , lol.
Yeah these ones are quite loud too.
I watched them on the river this morning and when they saw ne they started complaining. How dare I disturb their peace!
