The geese seem to be having a good time. This, and all the other shots I have posted from Side Cut Metropark, was taken in late October.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

This is a beautiful capture of the geese and you found a good number of them too! Nicely surrounded by lovely trees. Especially like the weeping willow.

Jimbob - This is a wonderful photo that the park may want to use in their promotional literature! As Gabi notes, the willow, and other trees frame the water, where the geese are having fun. (I play golf at a municipal course that has a geese invasion at the ponds. Yet, not one of them has offered to dive down for the golf balls I have placed there from my errant tee shots! Instead, they honk in derisive laughter at my foibles!!) Thad

Very well chosen composition Jimbob. Like to agree with Owd Bob, as the October weather seems to be very nice here.
Very fine post mate.

An absolutely perfect photo Jimbo!! A scene as if we were in the paradise we all dream about!I like how you took the photo thru the bushes, making it appear as tho we are truly seeing thru your eyes! Those ducks and geese are pretty, but we all know what they leave for us on the grasses!! And how those ol' geese can bite! I have proof of that! lol Thank you for such an awesomely beautiful photo! Truly one of the best I've seen here. Verena

I really like the willows JimboB. This is a great use of light and it is a good thing I am off probation with the FPA. Talk about some showoff's. It looks like they are auditioning for a Tarzan of the Geese movie.
