Lifelong reader Tom Mudge of Marquette, age 100, captured this shot of a mating pair of geese on May 7. These geese return each year to nest and hatch their young. The day-old gosling hatched a couple of weeks early this year, presumably due to warmer temperatures than previous years. Did you take a great shot of the sunset over Teal Lake? Or did you happen to snap a captivating image of wildlife?
