Took a drive to a beautiful lake that has a walking path around it. Some people jog, some people walk, and some people bring their dogs there for a walk. This is theplace I go to every once in a while, to walk, and take pic's. Ialways go in September,when they have the Monarch Fest.
Amazing shots. You must have a fantastic zoom lens to get those pics so sharp and clear. One bit of advice - next time try to show the whole reflection of the goose in the water. (I hope you're not insulted by my telling you that.)
Agree with Dowser, your pictures would do justice to a nature book.
I cannot walk a hundred yards from my house without
running across both of these birds around the swamps and small lakes. In fact hundreds of geese live around some of the lakes year long, and are considered nuisances and are hunted down, trapped, poisoned, and otherwise urged to move on.(rarely works)
Thank you dd. I live in the 'burbs, so the only way I get to see these birds is to go to a Nature Center. A friend of mine has a house on the lake front, and they are a big nuisance, especially when they use her yard as their own bathroom! ICK!

Great photos Nona, you're really posting some beauties.
aaaww...Thanks Kav! I have really grown to enjoy photography. It has taught me to look around,and pay attention to my surroundings
You sure are paying attention, your photos are great.
aawww...Thanks Kav, I have so much more to learn.
I watch as your images continue to grow stronger in composition that is the greatest challenge for any visual artist (and music, and literature).
Continue in the same direction.
RW, thanks for your kind words. It helps that the beauty is already there. lolLike I have said many times, "You can't go wrong with Nature"
Thank you Mac, and thanks for your encouragement!!
(I want to be like you when I grow up)
Nona,
If you act like a grown up, you won't be anything like me.

Beautiful ducks! The mallards look like they could be in a book that shows mallards! Great pictures!
lol.....Oh..In that case...never mind..I'll stay the same!!
Thank Buzz...no, not insulted at all, I appreciate the advise!!
No special zoom lens, the birds were close to the shore.
Oh thanks Dear Dowser, and much thanks for stopping by!

Thank you amb! That's so nice of you to say! Nature is my favorite "subject" to photograph.
Oh, RW, thank you so much! Your kind words are very encouraging.
