Pond for two

Posted on March 16, 2015 by Katrina W

I saw this pair of Canada geese as I was driving by the field where they were checking out this little pond located in a low spot. Maybe they were thinking it would be a good place to raise a family. I liked the tree growing in the middle of the pond. It was perfect timing for capturing the image as the pair moved onto the bank a few seconds later.

  Thanks, Chris. I was really lucky to see them and then get stopped and turned around and out of my vehicle with my camera while the geese were still on the water…seconds later they were both behind the tree and then up on dry land.

  Thanks, Julie. Yes, it was a large tree, altho not as tall as the trunk suggests.

There’s not enough environment in most wildlife shots. Yours is just what we need to see more and more. Congratulations!
