[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yesterday I was out in the afternoon and came across this little family of geese swimming placidly in what used to be a beaver pond here in High River.The beavers used to cut down a lot of trees and as a result they were live captured in the mid 1980's and have not been back to the area.The beavers have been replaced by these geese and a couple of muskrats.These geese are the first I have seen this year as young gosling's and soon I hope to see the ducklings as well.I hope you like this Canada goose family on a sunny Sunday afternoon.Cropped,resized and framed using Paint.Net.

Hi Bob,
I hope the Beaver's have moved onto a better place! The Geese and their cute family are lovely. The sun was shining on them beautifully. Nice capture and great quality of the image.

Outstanding capture of this goose family in natural setting. Excellent exposure, nice detail, beautiful colors. Perfect gold frame to bring out the color of the little goslings.

Hello Bob,
This is an excellent image of the family with great depth of field, so the whole family is sharp and the colors are beautiful, thanks and great job Bob.

This is a very cute capture Bob! Wow! I have seen Canada goose this weekend but the moment I approached the water, they were gone. How can you people get so close? This is stunning! This is a nice POV with good details and exposure. I think that it is the first time that I see Canada goose babies :) I never have thought they were yellow! Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Bob
It's hard to believe that the baby's are being born already. This is a nice capture of this Goose family with their babies taging along.It looks like a nice warm day. I like all the different reflections in the water, they create interesting textures and colours. I hope we get many more sunny and warm days a head.
