Hello Rick,

Slippery! Here in Arizona is already getting hot, very nice capture of this pair, just today I saw a flock of Canada Geese enjoying the sun.. Have a nice day :)

It certainly is a regimented shot...sort of what I would expect of an officer and a gentlemen both in nature and the one recording it! You are the guy to follow in a land so near yet so far...very nicely composed both in composition and in image/notes.

Some of our Canadian Geese already have little fluffy yellow chicks following them around. I know what you mean about seeing the geese arriving in spring or departing fall. I once, in all innocence said, "It just gives you goosebumps to see them coming, wave after wave." It gave us all a good laugh. Maybe that is the origin of the expression. About when do you expect a final thaw? I can't imagine ducks eating without water.

Thanks for sharing this marching duo.

Hello Rick,
Always a wonderful spectacle to see these gorgeous geese in their fling V pattern. I like the fact that you got these two lovers at the ice rink. Very nice and TFS. :)

Ha ha! Funny shot of these marching Geese!
I don't know how birds seem to always be able to grip on the ice! I once saw a Heron landing on an iced-over lake and it skidded for a couple of metres but even that gangly bird didn't slip! Us Humans get on the ice and WOosh! we're flat on our backs... usually anyway :-)
Very sharp shot!
The detail is great and we can even see frozen bubbles on the surface.
Excellent DOF and focusing.
I like the little spectator in the BG.
Well done Rick!
Cheers,
Joe

Hi Rick, now i know...always wondered about the 'V' formation thing - thanks!
Anyway, a fine shot of these two patrolling their patch, with great timing to catch the two pairs of feet in unison here. Like the icey setting too, won;t be long until it's all green i guess??

Hi Rick,

You have a wonderful eye to notice the position of the feet of the two geese. They look like they are putting on a show between periods of a hockey game. Great shot with wonderful colors and details. This is something different.

So they're coming up north, Rick! Nice bright picture, here, with great exposure and lots of details. I always found those geese very funny when walking and you depicted it very well in this picture. Thank you!

hello Rick

what a funny shot of these Canada Geese and the
American Widgeon on ice with a great POV and composition

and between Canadians i can do a joke, the 2 Canada Geese are
the BIG and tough North American left wing & right wing players
and the American Widgeon is their fancy Europeen center player,
as you guess i am talking about our National Sport in Canada,

TFS
