The February theme at City Daily Photo is Loving Life. I decided to use our local geese as models because they seem to really enjoy themselves. We have various colors of geese in shades of gray and white, including Canada Geese, the expert fliers in the crowd.
Our subdivision has a lake at the entrance. and I can see the lake from our house so I get plenty of goose photos.
I was fortunate to see a flock of Canada Geese in flight as I drove home yesterday. I only had my point-and-shoot camera with me but that may have been an advantage because it focuses more quickly than my Nikon with the zoom lens. I cropped these final two pictures so you could get a closer look at the geese with their landing gear extended.
Those look like some very happy geese!
ReplyDeleteI also blogged about geese on our lake a few days ago. I agree they really seem to enjoy themselves
ReplyDeleteWhats not to love about being a goose (Thanksgiving being over!) - you get to mess about at the pond all day - and fly off when you feel like it. Sounds good to me!

Canadians have crossed with Africans here
ReplyDeleteGeese are beautiful but they can be aggressive.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get the white or grey geese up here, though I think they turn up in the Great Lakes during the summer.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos for the theme, especially that first one. I love it!
ReplyDeleteHow did you ever get all those geese all in front of that white cloud!
ReplyDeleteThe goose in your first picture is definitely enjoying life. A great capture!
ReplyDeleteOh Linda these are all just fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI love every one of them ...
All the best Jan
