The end of the chase

About a month ago I had posted a picture taken several seconds earlier of these two Canada geese in a wild chase across the water. This was shot when the action was dying down.

Splish-splash! Love to watch the ruckus geese can make on a pond.

Nicely captured with the water droplets and lovely light on the wings.

Fine action photo. They really get aggressive sometimes but no one seems to get hurt.

Amazing catch of the action, and great contrast of the competitive and calm character. ~VVV~
