This final walk of the season actually took place in late September. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining, and the breeze was so light, not a hair was blown out of place. The geese were content, but one, was showing off. He was all black, a different breed than the usual Canada Goose we see here.
Here’s a close up of the fellow, flapping his wings. His feathers dark and wet, gleamed the sunlight. I must admit, he looked pretty majestic while flapping and strutting.
Another spot of interest was this fence that surrounds one of the many lake outlooks. It’s used by local couples to proclaim their devotion to each other, by fixing love locks to the wire. The caretakers regularly remove the many locks placed here throughout the season.
There weren’t many this day, but one lock in particular caught my eye.
Justin and Tiffany must have been quite the lovebirds.
But what’s this that someone has scratched into the metal?
SHE DOESN’T LOVE U, and a sad face.
Were they joking, or disillusioned with love?
Nice to daydream about these times. 😊

Nice looking goose out there! I like the locks on the fence, and that is strange what was scratched in the metal. 😉

Yes, I couldn’t figure that out either.

Oh, is that what it is! He was the only one. I wonder if he took a wrong turn somewhere.

I seem to remember that there is a bridge – maybe in Paris? – where the padlocks show up in great numbers for the same reason.
The pictures of that beautiful day look very good now.

I think you’re right about Paris, and you’re definitely right about the park scenes looking good when the snow now covers the ground.
