with my camera....

Hi Peeps I know this is just basically an image of a lot of gosling bums but it did make me chuckle... how many times has this happened to you.. ready in prime position for a wildlife shot and something spooks them and thats it..about turn and they are off.

I was laying on the ground..narrowly avoiding the Geese do dos again and whispered to myself "Stay there and I can get a good shot" lord thier hearing must be good as they about turned and ran for the river. I fired off a couple of shots anyway and this one just really make me smile.

So this then is the last in my little series of the Goslings at Cosgrove. I hope you have enjoyed them and this one brought a smile to your face for the weekend.

TTFN and thanks for the visit

regards Smurfie

Hi Helen. Another gorgeous image with all the juvs having fun against the green background. Excellent perspective in brilliant sharpness of the subjects. Love the long necks against the blurry green here. Best regards. Jusni

Well, you know what they think of you, don't you???

Yes, I am chuckling too from way down here. Great pic showing the goslings' backsides Helen...

It's been enjoyable, thank you
Janice

Ha!

Have to say the title frew me into this one, and i'm very glad that it did. "Cute" is the obvious word here. But also the quality is excellent - great moment, great composition, great sharpness and colours - and the low POV is just perfect. Lovely shot.

This did give me a smile! A cute title, and the background is beautiful. Very nice colors. A very cute moment captured!! Thanks!!

Hi Smurfie,
When will you learn you don't walk up to a bird and say I want to shoot you! I know I would run away if someone said that to me LOL.
Nice shot of these cheeky chappies running off, I guess they thought the photoshoot was over.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hello my dear Helen,
A beautiful position which gave a superb result, to use every effort to reward.
Beautiful light and colors. Too cute, plumage these posteriors that we want to caress.
Best regards

Hi Helen,
It happens to me all the time! So many beautiful birds of all varieties visit my property every day. But they're so fast!

Lovely composition and colors in this image with marvellous sharpness.

Funny and super post . Your title is famous and exact
Bravo

Hi, Helen -
Although your sneak attack was foiled, you wound up with an good view of these fleeing goslings. Your POV puts us at ground level with these youngsters. Good, sharp focus on the subjects and the vegetation and either side, allowing us to appreciate the soft texture of their fuzzy down. Warm and natural colors. Well done.

This is a charmer! Not only is the shot well done, but the action seems to "unfreeze" as I look at it. A real one-of-a-kind winner:)

cute pic, lovely shades of green, affectionate. deserves all the praise it's got.
LOL Janos
