Good morning Peeps

Yesterday afternoon I went to visit some friends who are staying at very scenic campsite in Cosgrove. The area is made up of some very pretty lakes and rivers and there was an abundance of wildlife on parade.

This goose family were wandering about feeding and when the drake saw me sneak up and sit down with the camera he immediatly started commanding the gosslings to waddle off, they reacted instantly by marching along behind him.... with of course the odd stop off by the naughty ones at the back to peck in the grasses on the way. They were all very cute to watch and I managed to get a few shots so I will so a little series over the next couple of days.

TTFN love Smurfie

Hi Helen
Good title for this great shot.
Very nicely composed to get a bunch of moving geeses in the whole frame without blur, you had to be quick and pretty precise.
Very good shot.

Cute capture of pretty birds, nice soft greens etc. LOL Janos

Hi Smurfie,
Hehehe..nice image of these geese, you did a good job by bending your knees and take a low POV for this shot! Maybe a tad more saturation and/or contrast. Anyway still a fine posting my dear!

Hi Helen,
What a lovely scene! All these young ducks with the perfectly synchronized steps except for the last in the line up (a privilege for the last of the family, isn't it!
Great acuity of details and bright colors.
Very pleasant image! Regards! Annie

Hi Helen
A fantastic shot and really sharp and clear too.
I can just imagine dad telling his youngsters to hurry up!!!
The little one at the back just makes it - he looks a bit mischievious.

Bonjour Helen
Je suis désolé : je n'ai pas beaucoup de temps pour participer ces dernières semaines aux thèmes du vendredi, mais je prends une minute pour cette photo qui me plaît beaucoup. cette mère de famille nombreuse a raison d'être fière et digne, et je trouve le fond absolument charmant avec ces hautes herbes.
Cordialement,
Antoine.
