I am READY!

This is an iPhone photo from several years ago. I realized it would be perfect for this contest!

late one afternoon in early April. Took almost 50 shots of this pair of Canada geese. In most of them, he was standing lookout while she was feeding. Then he started displaying behavior--wing flapping and honking, probably in response to me and my camera--before they both took off. Can't you just imagine what she's thinking? "Yeah, yeah, I've heard this before..."

where Zebras are pronounced ZEB-RA. Not ZEE.
And the Brits would say Zebra Crossing whenever they saw them.
Crosswalks in the UK are called Zebra Crossings. Like on the cover of Abbey Road.

Argh I have computer problems again and it's being fixed in shop so only phone access to the web for me now!
But I remembered the b&w ice pictures I showed awhile back so posted one of them. Then I changed it. Looks tiny on my phone! Oh well.
Love all the entries so far, and so many of them already!

without 30 entries, I took it upon myself to post a second one.
If there is no call for more entries, I will delete it before the end of the day.
Hope I am not stepping on any toes.
