Have you ever looked at the birds as they fly and wished to be a bird. This is probably my oldest wish. To be able to fly like a bird. So effortless. So far above every wish or cognitive thought. Soaring.
Actually my most recurring dream (and God knows you do not want to be bored out of your mind by my dreams because I remember every one of them and they are in DETail) – the dream that I lived in the most, during my nights as a teenager, was when I was a horse that flew. No wings – just flight. My favourite one of this series was when I was flying over mountains made of orange and lemon peels. The scent was divine. But let’s not go there.
These two Canadian Geese have been hanging about lately. This has never happened before, that a pair should think about setting up housekeeping close by. Though I am sure the dogs will change their minds fairly quickly. They are huge birds, and like all the birds that visit here – common. I love the common birds. 
I love flight.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Sheila will.

I dream of flying often. And it’s absurd. I sort of getting running start then leap. But it works! My favorite dream of all, flying. Your dreams don’t sound boring, they found FANTASTIC! Orange and lemon peels—I love it. Scratch and sniff dreams. The geese are beautiful. Such graceful creatures.
I always feel honoured when wild waterfowl decide they’d like to do a bit of housekeeping in my surroundings. They have such arduous and far-ranging lives that if I can give them a haven and a short time of peace it feels as if I’ve been handed a gift. Our magpie geese aren’t quite as vocal as Canada geese, but they do look very similar.
Perhaps the geese are waiting for you to stock the swimming pool with fish. Sheila looks very happy indeed 🙂
I too regularly have dreams where I can fly. Happy dreams, mostly.
I hope your Canada geese stay and produce babies Do you have a pool nearby?
Enjoy your day, maybe join Sheila!
love,

Those must have been the smartest ones of the flock, they landed in a good spot! I often have dreams that I am flying too, I am myself, no wings but I can float up and just soar and glide and in the dream I am afraid to land. Weird.
I wonder if something is wrong with me. I seldom remember dreams. Seems like I’m missing out on some cool stuff.
Super cool pics of the Canadian Geese!!!
We have loads of Egyptian geese here and I remember flying in my dreams too, very clearly, although never as exciting as yours.
Have a wonderful day C.

I think all of us with gypsy souls love flight. I am so seldom blessed with flying dreams that it gives me a touch of sadness.
You are lucky, I never remember my dreams.
Although about a kite – the song fro Mary Poppins ‘up to the highest height’ is now coursing through my brain!
I wonder if Sheila is dreaming of flying. 🙂 We get masses of them in the green spaces of the highway. It can bring traffic to a complete stop if one wants to wander the road. Yes, we all stop for them no matter where they are. I don’t think I’ve seen just 2 alone without a flock of other birds. Great way to start a day.
My fellow countrymen! Yay, go Canada. 😀 Actually, the Canadian geese at home in Oxfordshire there on the reservoir are more British than Robert…lol. But I can’t help and think of them as my fellows and feel a bit more “at home” when I see them. 😀
Wow!
I have two Canada Geese who have adopted our yard this spring feasting under my bird feeders. I have named them George and Gertie because they need names . I suspect they have a nest on the little island across from our dock because I am only seeing one at a time now. I hope to see some babies soon!
