Dustycat and I went for a very nice nature walk and came across this huge family. Neither of us have seen such a big family. I count 27! It was very windy so did not have my zoom lens. I used my 18-55 wide angle and then cropped the image and used my favorite plug in - fotoframe. I'm going to try to go back for some closeups. No cloning done here this is the actual image. I have learned that these geese here are probably like babysitters. sandi ♪ ♫

Love this Sandi! They are so cute!!! Beautiful clarity, lighting, and reflection in the water. I also like the presentation. It's in my favorites.

Where's the 300mm when you need it ?
Great Shot.
When I read the Title I thought I was going to see some Fishing Corks.
These are Better.

That's some huge family. They definitely have never heard of birth control. Gorgeous shot, Sandi. Crystal clear as always.

What a lovely crew! Maybe those are two mommas. I like the way you framed this on the horizontal to emphasize the subject. Nice clear image too.

That had to be one big nest. She probably got egg sores. I bet the cool water feels soothing. I believe it is a duck train. Excellent shot Tigz. You do such nice work. Have a good week.

Never have seen this too Sandi. Might be a good photograph for the Guinness Book of Records.
Great capture my friend!

What a bumper crop of goslings! I wonder if some other geese layed eggs in the same nest? Never seen that many with just two adults with them. Great shot!

I will trust you on the count. I ran out of fingers and toes! Could all of those young birds be theirs? Extraordinary shot, Sandi.

That looks more like a ducky day care center. Great capture, I've never seen that many in one place.

Oh my, if only you would have had a telephoto with you...BUT....you may not have been able to get them all on. The ideal situation would be to be able to be close to them with a wide angle.
At any rate, go back and see if you can photo this bunch again. I have NEVER seen that many babies in one family. I am wondering if they have adopted another couple's babies who were killed? Research this on the internet and see if it is possible for one Mom and Dad to have 27 babies.

Great picture Sandi. Are you sure that those little ducks all belong to the same mother? Or are you sure they were not on a school outing?

Wow I counted 27 Goslings Sandi !!
Boy is that a lot I doubt they all make the full trip mind. :o( Even with a 300mm zoom you still couldn't do them full justice, stitching a pana together maybe.
Great photo I wonder if there two nests here !!

Big brother's watching you :o) A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.
Good substance Sandi. That must be one worn out mama duck! Dave

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
I hope thats the teacher, or there would be no sleep for months ... Great eye for a great shot.

If you have some minutes why don't you come visiting my gallery ?
Very nice capture Sandi!! It is a lot of babies...got the feeling that they are not all from one mother...but I could be wrong.
