Fair Lakes: Meet some of my pals
Hello Friends,
Of late, we've been making frequent trips out to the Fair Lakes area, not only to enjoy that mega Whole Foods store and their state of the art wine tasting room, but to visit the lake and my pals who call it home.

Relaxing Lake
The Fair Lakes area is a one of Virginia’s premier areas that combines fine living, shopping centers and restaurants, with more slowly paced relaxing attractions such as this lake I stroll around sometimes.
Friendly pair heading towards the camera
The geese here are very friendly and like this happening pair, they are not at all shy. Why, just after I snapped this picture they were up close and personal patting me down for snacks. Despite there being a sign saying do not feed these guys; there are people who cannot resist, so these guys are always expecting treats from their human visitors.
Happy Family
For the past month I have been tracking the progress of the above family of geese on a regular basis. What dedicated parents they are, and the little babies are just adorable. Every time I have seen them, there has always been one parent in the front and another in the rear to protect the curious young babies. Whether on land walking or in the lake paddling, there is always one in front, three in the middle, and one in the rear. Sadly, yesterday when I visited the family there was only two young ones and as always, both parents were on patrol. Dezel is left to wonder what happened to the 3rd little guy.
Well more on Fair Lakes later – Hope you enjoy some of the images.
