Wildlife Wednesday- The Elegance of Birds on Water

One of my favorite places in Granbury, Texas, is Stumpy’s. It’s not the food that draws me in—it’s the peaceful atmosphere. Built right on beautiful Lake Granbury, Stumpy’s offers more than a meal; it offers a moment of serenity.

From the patio, you can sit by the marina and watch as graceful geese and ducks glide effortlessly across the shimmering water, dipping their heads in search of the tasty treats shared by patrons. There’s a quiet rhythm to it—a simple harmony between nature and the people who pause to admire it.

Capturing that elegance in a photo can be a challenge, but when I look at this image, it instantly takes me back. I can almost hear the soft ripples of the lake, the gentle chatter of families, and the laughter shared with loved ones. It reminds me that moments like these—blending family, nature, and calm—are what truly make life rich.

Sometimes, beauty isn’t in the grand or extraordinary—it’s in the quiet glide of a goose across the water, framed by a memory that warms the heart.
