canada goose

11x14 inches. Watercolor. Saw these beautiful cranes at Horicon Marsh in Wisconsin in September, 2009.

This is one of the first shots taken from my first digital cameras. The local community pond always has a bunch of geese and ducks.

I like the light in this one.

Stuck indoors again, so some more from last year. Hope you like them.

Cold, that's all, just pure cold. Don't know how birds do it - thought my skin was going to freeze.

Below zero, incredible wind chill, and these Canadian Geese were just below the dam, swimming amongst the ice pads that were forming. If you look closely, you can see ice hanging off a couple of the geese. I have a shot of the ice pads that looks like white lily pads, pretty cool, but oh so cold!

I like this image cause I have both normal Geese and Sunday school geese in the same pic. Sunday school geese at right. I call them sunday school geese because this style reminds me of the old religious pics they hung at wall. Kind of muted colours.

an other lift off picture from the last week end.

Take this week end, close to our land in eastern township. When we arrive at the site, they are hundreds of those canada goose ready to start. I just wait batch after batch of lift-of to shoot burst of pictures.

14x17 inches. Pastel and charcoal on acid-free paper.

At the Sophia polder in Zeeland/Holland I saw a lot of Gees including this couple. The Sophia polder is a nature reserve made for compansation for works on the Wester Schelde river, witch is to be made deeper so that big containerships can reach the harbor of Antwerp. Nature protectors fear that...

Still trying to master this Sigma 150-500. This young goose was swimming in the soupy water of our local park.

I like them.

Too cute for words!

Had the pleasure of watching this one with seven siblings and their parents. Caught him just as he was flapping his wings. He has a while to go yet :)

The goslings are getting big enough that they venture away from their parents for short periods now. This one would swim quite aways away but always keep it's eye on where it's mom was.
