A Grudge Against Geese

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.

    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!
