Mother Goose

I guess she's Quinqua Mom in keeping with popular culture... only Mrs. Goose did it the old fashioned way. This flotilla inhabits North Terrace Lake (Green Lake for those of us who grew up over here in Northeast). I think they must have hatched about 10 days ago... just saw them today. Cute little fuzzy goslings who stick right with Mom and Dad.... and vice- versa. Generally swim from one end of the lake to the other, get out and eat, get back in. Sleep on the island at night.

Chalk Walk in Northeast

Saturday and Sunday saw the Chalk Walk come back to the Concourse in Historic Northeast for another year. The fountain water is turned off and the concrete base and walkways become canvas for chalk artists from all over. I took these pix on Sunday so some of the Saturday drawings had suffered a little from what rain we received that day. Its a great time for everyone... and kids love it too. Giant kites were on hand and the 30 mile-per-hour gusts (and up) made for great wee-people fun. I seldom post people pix but that's actually the majority of my work. There was also live entertainment including jugglers who used mini-volunteers some of whom I think had second thoughts about the whole thing.
