A promise of new life


I know this is the time for Easter eggs, but there are other kinds of eggs that some of us nature-minded folk are interested in at this time of year.  In my case it's those of the waterfowl that inhabit our local marsh, especially the Canada geese that have made it their nesting ground for several years now.  When I approached the little island in the marsh's centre this morning, I saw who I call 'Mother Goose' plucking down from her body to line her nest in the island's centre, the same spot she has used for several seasons.  So the cycle begins anew . . . how Easter-like!
