After trying for years, today I finally found a pair Canadian geese parents and their goslings that were willing to pose for a family portrait.
As I turned out of the parking lot at lunch time, this family group was grazing by the side of the road. I stopped my car right in the middle of the road and took 43 pictures, backing up occasionally as the family walked along the edge. A few cars came and went, but they obligingly past me without honking which would have surely spooked Papa Goose.
As it was he stopped and watched me warily a couple of times. Mama Goose and babies trusted him to be on the lookout for danger because they went right on eating and ignoring me.
Aren't they sweet?

They are divine! Looks like a lovely setting too x
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set of pictures, so very significant of spring. Very sweet and very cute.;)
ReplyDeleteMy sunset yesterday was absent due to clouds, but I am hoping for a new chance today.;) The volcano is still very active, with the ash cloud still above us and all the flights are still grounded all across Europe:)
Have a great Friday,
xo
They sure are sweet. All the goslings around here are still in the egg.
ReplyDeleteExcellent photos Steviewren. Very cute little fellers aren't they? - Dave
ReplyDeleteLook how yellow and fluffy they are! And they certainly know how to look for bugs! I would have stopped to photograph them, too!
ReplyDeleteThe baby geese are so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable ...
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little family - how obliging of them to allow you 43 photos!! I do hope those little chicks stay safe.

Awww seeing baby critters never grows old.. even when they do.
ReplyDeleteAh, the wonder of nature. Beautiful, beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteThis is my first visit to your blog - not eally sure how I ended up here - but had a fabulous time here! I LOVE the geese pictures - they are just great! And the Fried Green Tomatoe story - what fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharig - your pictures are really great!

That´s so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey are just darling. And so obliging of them to pose for pictures. My nieces were just given 6 baby chicks. Someone had a farm-themed birthday party for their 4 year old, then didn't know what to do with the chicks they'd got for "decorations." Rich people can be a bit strange. :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Stevie! It isn't often that I see the babies as the parents hide them. So cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treat at the end of a work day! I would have been completely blown away to see this delightful family. You, like me, must keep your camera with you at all times, just to catch shots like these.
ReplyDeletewhat a way to smile for today,
ReplyDeletelove the cute view and beautiful words...
perfect post from a perfect friend!
...so cute!...but they are such a nuisance here...we no longer can swim in our local pond because the large number of geese have contaminated it so badly...:(
