These days Brightwood Park is like a motel for migrating geese. They check in around mid-afternoon and check out before 9:30 in the morning. One can watch them getting up one by one and stretching their wings around 8:30 a.m. Like us humans, the next is to take a shower before starting other activities of the new day. (Included in this set of photos: A large chunk of ice formed under the bridge while the water was still running.) Before continuing the journey to the south, a few geese went through trainings of taking off and landing on ice. All the geese then left by groups between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. While I was watching the geese getting up this morning, a red fox appeared on the other side of the pond. The fellow appeared to know my intention when I pulled out my camera, and posed for me before moving on. The resolution of the photos were not so great even the camera, my frozen fingers, and myself all stretched to the limit.
