'Now come on, dear.' by quietpurplehaze

'Now come on, dear.'

My camera was poised to capture the splash as the two geese went back into South Pond. But they glided into the water in the most genteel manner.

This nursery rhyme comes to mind:

"Goosey goosey gander,
Whither shall I wander?
Upstairs and downstairs
And in my lady's chamber.
There I met an old man
Who wouldn't say his prayers,
So I took him by his left leg
And threw him down the stairs."

As charming as most nursery rhymes!
Lovely capture Hazel

Great picture, you are right too, most nursery rhymes have a dark meaning.

A lovely capture of the happy couple.When I was child that rhyme made me laugh now I realise it is not so funny but still chuckling at the picture in my head from the book I had.

What a sweet shot. Love the title, they look like a pair of pensioners carefully wading into the water. Love the reflections of the tree on the water.
