Day 364 of 365

Went to Boys Town today hoping to see an eagle or an owl or some type of interesting wildlife. Never saw any of those after driving around a bit, so I headed over to the pond to try some geese shots. Usually they like to hiss and run at you if you get too close, but these two were extremely docile. This was shot at 10mm, if that gives you any idea. Wide-angle 10mm geese portraits... definitely something I didn't expect to be shooting today

Not sure if they were a mated pair or what. One of them kept trying to pick bits of grass from the other's mouth. They also had an obsessive fascination with my camera lens hood/strap. I'll get a video of that up later

BTW....the one on the right is a juvenile. If it was picking grass from the other one's mouth, then I suspect that's mom or dad.

Kind of off topic here...but in Toronto, the "stroll" where young male prostitutes frequent is often referred to as 'Boys Town' or 'Boy Town'.

This place of yours sounds far more wholesome.
