Spring.......JOY!

Three two week old Canada goose goslings enjoying a sunny spring day. The parents are a nesting pair outside my building at work. We were worried as we watched as they nested last month but a great blue heron was hanging around the pond and the geese all of a sudden stopped minding the nest. Thought the worst had happened but mom and dad showed up this week with three goslings.

Very nice image of these cute little goslings! I like the poses and habitat. Good exposure and DOF choice. I think the yellow flower above the goslings head is a little distracting.

Very nice group shot with good DOF John. I agree the one yellow flower does grab my attention, but no big deal to me really.
