My fascination with birds continues. I took these photos on a warm balmy February day. Thinking back, our winter was much warmer than our spring! But I digress. My friend and I found ourselves heading to a local park after our lunch. We just could not stay inside on such a beautiful day. I had my camera with me and as we talked quietly at the water's edge a pair of geese took a liking to our voices. They swam closer and closer and then just floated peacefully sleeping not more than a few feet away. It was endearing to see such trust in a wild creature. They did come ashore finally and the male, at least the larger one, laid at my feet like the family dog. Now tell me, who could not find that touching and sweet!
oh what a wonderful moment. most of the geese I encounter have attitude! love your shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks Toni! I was amazed at how docile they were too. It was a pair and when they came ashore they kept the other geese from us. Probably thought we had goodies.
