January 12th - Canadian Goose

Here is a Canadian Goose that was at Lake El Estero, today. I think they're very pretty birds. Notice how you can see clear through it's nostrils!

I especially like this image, because I didn't have to crop it or anything. I only adjusted the levels a bit in Photoshop, and boosted the saturation a tad. I usually crop my images, so getting a good composition that doesn't need cropping is a real bonus, for me! ;)

July 2nd - Goose

This goose let me get really close to him. There were well over a hundred geese at the lake today, all in the same area, and only one was white (the rest were Canadian Geese). My hubby told me one time, that he was talking to this guy at the lake who said he is the only person this white goose will let pet him. My daughter and I tried to get close enough to him, but he didn't let us get closer than about 3 feet. That was close enough for a pretty good shot of him, anyway. No, we didn't get bit. :D
