I took a jaunt to a nearby park yesterday to have some fun with my camera. I got a Canon SX50 HS for Christmas, and I love it but I am still figuring out how to use it.
While I was there I had a lovely time photographing a pair of Canada Geese.
To be perfectly honest, geese are not my favorite birds. I’m pretty sure I encountered an aggressive one when I was a kid and I have held a grudge for all these years. (I also had the back of my shoe bit off by an ostrich when I was little girl, but that’s another story!) At any rate, this couple was quite well mannered and I very much enjoyed their company. Perhaps a few more trips to the park and I will change my “fowl” perception of them. Sorry…couldn’t resist!
I think almost everybody has a love/hate relationship with these birds. I personally love them in the air and on water. On land, however is a totally different story!
