The Epic Goose Battle

I am incredibly blessed to live in Brooklyn, not too far away from Prospect Park, which is the best park in the universe.  Okay, I'm sure that there are better parks out there somewhere, but Prospect Park is really, utterly fantastic.  Also, it's almost never crowded.  Central Park can be a total wash on beautiful days due to the sheer number of people, but even on the most gorgeous summer day, you can find seclusion in Prospect Park. The city is almost always somewhere in view in Central Park, but from within Prospect Park, you can barely ever see skyline.  When you can, it's only a few buildings.

Prospect Park also seems to have more wildlife- I see more geese, squirrels, swans and herons in Prospect than Central.  It also used to have the ghost dog, but he was captured about a week ago.  He is this dog who lived in Prospect Park for four years, and no one could seem to catch him!  There were so many sightings of him running around in the forest that he became known as a ghost.  People weren't certain if he was real or a shadow.  Turns out, he is real.

These geese are real too.  And, Ginny and Danny were really ready to battle with them.  Sadly, the crisis was averted, and I say sadly because it would have been freaking hilarious.  But, here are some photographs from our post-brunch adventure through Prospect Park two weeks ago!

Let there be adventures!  Onward!





























Note: I tried out some new editing software on these, and I'm not too pleased with the results... not with the software, but with my own choices... but ah, well.  The originals looked cool, but I thought I'd share these to test it out.  Lesson learned...

Thanks for reading!!
