I have a built in desire to explore.
When we lived in Los Angeles, I was always amazed when, after living there for 30 years, I would drive on a road for the very first time. I was like a little kid.
“I have lived here for (fill in the blank) years and I have never been on this road before.”
Now that I live in Kansas. Everywhere I go is new. However, I do find myself saying “I have never seen that before” fairly frequently.
That happened again yesterday.
After church, I decided to take the family to a certain barbecue restaurant that I had been wanting to visit for the past six months. When we arrived, we learned that they are closed on Sunday!
We ended up eating at a nice Italian restaurant instead.
When we got into the truck to go home, the thought of driving the usual streets seemed so disagreeable that I decided to head south a few miles and then drive the 7 miles east to out apartment through the country.
What a trip!
As we drove, we saw 11 white tail deer in one location, 9 more white tail deer in another and 8 or 9 longhorn cattle.
But we then stumbled upon a huge, beautiful park. In that park was a lake with Canadian geese on the water. First of all, I am starting to think that someone made a mistake when they named them. I think that they met Kansasian geese instead of Canadian geese. They are here all year round!
Last weekend, we stopped next to a field with well over 100 birds in it. That was the most that I had ever seen…
Until yesterday!
When we first parked the truck at the lake, there were over 200 geese on the lake!
My son and I got out of the car and walked out to the waters edge. It was then that we realized that these were CHRISTIAN geese!
Yes, you read right!
No, I am not crazy!
Double click on the picture and look closely…
Those geese were walking on water!!!!!!!
Of course, the water WAS frozen!
After watching for 15 minutes, there were 400-500 Kansasian geese walking on the water! And that is after 100-200 took off! And I am being conservative! They would land in groups of 30-100 at a time.
I am 50 years old and I have never seen that before. It was pretty, darn cool!
