About Linda Schaub

This is my first blog and I enjoy writing each post immensely. I started a walking regimen in 2011 and in 2013 I decided to create a blog as a means of memorializing the people, places and things seen on my daily walks. I have always enjoyed people watching, so my blog is peppered with folks I meet or reflections of characters I have known through the years. Often something piques my interest, or evokes a pleasant memory from my memory bank, so this becomes a “slice o’ life” blog post. I respect and appreciate nature and my interactions with Mother Nature’s gifts is also a common theme. Sometimes the most-ordinary items become fodder for points to ponder over and touch upon. I retired in March 2024 after a career in the legal field. I was a legal secretary for almost 45 years, primarily working in downtown Detroit, then working from my home. I graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in Mass Communications (print journalism) in 1978, though I’ve never worked in that field. I would like to think this blog is the writer in me finally emerging!! Walking and writing have met, shaken hands and the creative juices are flowing in Walkin’, Writin’, Wit & Whimsy. I hope you think so too. - Linda Schaub

      You’re right Kate … you know, I never thought of that as a title, but I’m sure before Spring and “gosling time” is over I will see more goslings sticking their oversized feet out. 🙂

      Glad you liked these two Debbie! I had a few more goslings in the “family” that I originally planned to make as fans and call it “Kick Boxer and his Peeps” but in the end I thought this worked better and was funnier. 🙂

    My goodness, they look so fuzzy cute and adorable! Many young animals have that “too sweet to not like” look to them, and these goslings are no exception! Great capture, Linda! 😊

      Thank you Tom! I agree with you – those goslings are so sweet, especially when they are young like these. That foot kick – the foot and leg are almost as big as the whole body. 🙂

      I’m glad to give you a smile Barbara … nature pics like these are guaranteed to make you smile. This was a long week for me … two severe weather events and my computer crashed from a Microsoft update and I spent a day with tech support to bring it back, plus all the other things in the world on an everyday basis. I was up until 3:00 a.m. three times this week because of those things and that is not something I usually do. I hope your coming days get better.
