Geese!!

My Mom got these beautiful geese a couple of weeks ago. I finally made it out there with my camera and got some really gorgeous pictures of them! Enjoy... A picture is worth a thousand words...






photo above is one of the geese hissing at the dogs...



I love these white feathers around this one's beak.

The flapping of wings after warning the dogs.



This is a close up of the water droplet dropping off his beak.




There are two boys and two girls. The boys are quite a bit bigger than the girls are. They are mostly friendly, but don't like the dogs at all. Sometimes they will flap and hiss a little at people but they really don't mean it =) Pretty cool birds!

Wow... beautiful geese! And beautiful photos! Geese can be mean though. I remember once when my dad got new geese, my 10 year old stepbrother went out with me to see them. One immediately grabbed on to his you-know-what and wouldn't let go. My poor stepbrother was screaming and I was laughing. Thanks for bringing back that awesome goose memory!

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Great photos! Are the geese going to stick around or will they try to fly south?

Thanks for submitting a post again!
