Day Sixty Five

Upon feeding the horses this evening, I discovered a few Canada geese on our pond. Usually, they fly away as I get closer, but this pair let me get pretty durned close! There were also a few mallard ducks, but they did fly away immediately when they sensed my presence.

  2. Love the extended wings! I sat by a Canadian goose today at the park. It wanted food. I had none so it didn't linger by me too long.

  4. So graceful. I wonder if those two Canada geese are a couple. Great capture.

  5. Great photos! I especially like the second one.

    Thanks for the kind thoughts for Kobe. She has felt really good today.

    Glad to hear your paint horse's hoof is healing nicely.

  7. Is there any way we can make them understand we are shooting with a lens and not with a gun?
    My Hoopoes too flew away as I approached them. :(

  8. They are both good shots. Your luck to have your own pond with birds like these on it.

  9. Good job. Birds are really hard to shoot--shoot, as in using a camera :) -- unless you're sitting in a blind, or they've become used to people.

  10. Such lovely photos. I have to admit that I am afraid of geese...all that honking and hissing makes me nervous. Pictures are the way to go.

    I’m what you might like to think as the very tail end of the SITS welcome wagon. While my cohorts all probably stopped by your blog in a timely manner, I instead took a different approach. I thought I would wait a while and then swing by and say, hey, you’re still a member!

    Or maybe I’m just a big slacker who is finally getting back on the comment wagon. I’ll leave the interpretation up to you, but I urge you to seriously consider option #1! :)
