Come Back To Me

Geese In Flight

The scene above is three geese flying into the evening sky, from the very end of last summer. Don't worry, I haven't run out of current adventures to bring to you, but I said back then that I was saving some of my best pictures for you. I want to make sure you get them before the winter is done. Maybe I have a few winter gems I'm saving for you when summer is at its hottest.

I've been thinking about my friends, the long lost geese, for quite some time now. In years past my geese would stay around here all winter long. This year as soon as it got cold they all disappeared. I'm sure they're not far away, but they just aren't here where I am, and I've missed them ever since they went away.

It's hard for me not to miss some of them because I watched them since they were just eggs. I watched them as their mother and father watched over them so diligently. I watched as these little goslings grew into adult geese over the summer. I watched as they took some of their first flights. And I even remember seeing them for the last time.

I miss my little gaggle of geese that I watched for the beginning of their lives. I miss them now that they've gone away. I wonder if I'll ever see them again. Will they recognize me as they did so long ago? Come back to me, my little lost geese...
