Goose Family -- Day 129

Saw this goose family while on a picnic today. After tagging this post, I looked back at previous "goose" tags and found that my #129 photo in 2010 was also a picture of a family of geese. :)

Following Daddy -- Day 129

On our way home today, Amber and I stopped to take photos of this little family swimming in the pond. I hadn't seen that there were babies, but Amber saw them on her way to get me. When we stopped we found there were at least 3 geese families living at the pond.
I had my camera on ISO 1600 without realizing it. :( Most people won't notice the digital noise, but I think I'll go back tomorrow and see if I can find these fur balls again. :)

Mama and Papa Goose -- Day 109

My girls and I, took a walk to the lake yesterday. This couple of greese were brave and even tried a few bites of cinnamon roll that we threw to them. I think they were guarding a nest or something, cause they would honk when we got too close. I hope they will have some goslings that we can enjoy soon. ;)

Canada Goose -- Day 46

I took Emelyn and Ellise on a walk to the small lake near their house. We enjoyed watching the geese that live there. We got too close for this guy and he and his girl ventured out onto the frozen water. He honked his warning as we approached and after getting some pictures we left him alone and went to see the rest of the flock who was swimming and splashing in a section of the lake that had thawed.
