are you my mummy?

are you my mummy?, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

I was a little early this morning, so I stopped at Heritage Park to watch the geese and swans in the mist. As I pulled into the parking lot, there was an older couple standing next to this little guy, who apparently had lost his mummy. We tried to get him off the pavement so he wouldn't get run over, but he kept following us. The couple eventually left, and I got out my iPod to take a movie of him. I followed him down to the water, and left him there near some other geese (who apparently weren't his parents, because they just looked on dispassionately). As I walked back to my car, he ran after me, peep-peep-peeping. Oy. I tried chasing him back toward the water, but he kept following me and peeping. I finally had to leave, and he was still standing at the edge of the pavement, peeping at me. I felt terrible, but what could I do?

No, I could not take him with me. *g*

I told you: children and animals love me.
