Labor Day 2018 is now in the past, so is the summer season at the lake/pool we belonged to this year. What joy-filled times we have had there. We’ve celebrated a milestone birthday, swam with our grandchildren, reconnected to old friends, and best of all we’ve made some new friends and acquaintances. My husband and I are a bit sad that the hazy days of summer won’t return for nine months. It’s very fitting that this week’s Weather Vane Wednesday Challenge is located at the entrance to Lake Kandle in Washington Township, New Jersey. Even more fitting is the weathervane itself, a goose flying, which in my mind means birds flying south for the colder months.
Thanks to these bloggers for joining in the photo challenge a week ago:
Galloping Winds/Reading, Pennsylvania
This Made Me Smile Today/Regina, Saskatchewan
The Photo Challenge: Each Wednesday, I post a photograph of a Weather Vane with a short description of where it can be found and any history connected to it. The main focus of the challenge is the photo of the Weather Vane and the location. The challenge can be Wordless if that is what you choose. If you would like others to see your post leave a link to your blog in the comment box. You can also tag the post #weathervaneweds. If you place a link to my post in your post you will create a pingback that will appear in the comment section. The challenge is open all week for comments and posts. Thanks so much for taking part in my challenge.
Many thanks to Cee, of Cee’s Photography, for including this challenge in her listing of WordPress Challenges. If you love challenges take a look at this page and while you are there check out some of Cee’s terrific posts. Thanks Cee!
This is a very nice weathervane. We used to live in Kindersley, Saskatchewan which was located in the path of one of the major flyways for geese. They have people employed there to count geese, and band some of them so their migration can be traced. Every September, Kindersley has the Goose Festival, which coincides with the flight of the geese.

Have they noticed that there are fewer geese flying north for summer, south for winter? Many of the birds stay full time in our area and don’t seem to migrate south or north. I would love to visit a Goose Festival.

Here in Regina we have geese that stay all year round too. I’m not sure about the counts up Kindersley way.

It’s over near the barn, on a little cupola. It was perfect for the last week of summer.

I had a surprise when walking neighbor-dog Albert. Nestled in a front flowerbed was a weather vane. I assumed I would be back and would remember to photograph it, but that hasn’t happened.
