Eye To Eye!

My grandson, Brevyn, eye to eye with a goose, at Alton Baker Park. NOTE: No geese or children were harmed for these shots. These geese are quite tame, staying here pretty much all year. People are at close quarters with them daily. The worst casualties are shoes! Also, a telephoto lens was used, making distance appear more compressed. I would never put my grandson in harm's way!

Adorable! Did the goose eventually peck at him? ;-)

Very sweet shot! I hope he didn't get honked or bitten. ;) Oh, in reading I see he didn't. Happy time for all.

Good catch of a special inter-species moment.

Wonderful capture Vern. We have geese at Bedgebury Pinetum close to where we live and they are also very tame and use to people.

I don't think you needed the flash. This looks wonderful just the way it is. A very lovely image.

Very nice interaction here Vern but seriously, you have to watch the Canada Goose...they can be quite viscous.
Helen Betts15-Jul-2012 19:29
Charming capture, Vern. I think it's just fine without the flash!

Love it! Got his "Ducks In A Row"? (;-)

Very nice portrait of your Grandson and amidst the Geese Vern. I would tell him to be careful though, they are still wild and some of them do attack if one comes to close, especially if there are young.
Tom Munson15-Jul-2012 16:17
Your grandson has a wonderful smile! Terrific portrait, Vern!
