Peaceful

Sometime you plan a picture, waiting for the sun to come up or going to an area where certain flowers can be found. Then there are those pictures which you come across by chance, attached is one of those. I was following a common loon taking pictures along the way, when I came to scene with calm waters. Parts of two dead trees stuck in low water, with a Canadian Goose standing right next to them. Body position in a way to give balance to the scene, standing on one leg. Head resting on its top with one eye keeping track of me. I quickly took a picture thinking the goose might move, it did not. Then I got on my knees to get a picture from lower angle, capturing a  peaceful moment early in the day.

Until next moment,

Geese in the Mist

Few weeks back I was out waiting for the sunrise to take place. There were number of water holes forming as the warm weather was pushing its way into the Bow Valley. The geese were making the water opening their home, and the one I was standing next to was no different. The geese went about their business as low clouds went through the valley, no concern about me standing near their home. For the pair of mallards in the same water it was different story, they were on the far end of the opening, we were gone stay strangers. 

Up came the sun and the camera and I went to work until the sun started to hit the valley bottom. The light was now on the willow shrubs next to me, changed my lens and started to take pictures of catkins. Just as I was ready to go home, one of the goose made a noise, looked toward them and saw another picture opportunity. The sunlight was hitting the water, seeing only the outline of the geese as mist rose off the water. Changed lens again and was able to capture the attached picture.

Until next moment,
