[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken at Alton Baker Park in Eugene Oregon yesterday. We were finally blessed with blue skies and sunshine and that meant going to the park and feeding the geese, ducks and whatever other creature happened by wanting oyster crackers and bread. It is kind of funny that our college football team here is Oregon Ducks and this park is very close to the stadium where they play. Our city is full of ducks and geese so I guess our football team has an appropriate mascot.

As my son and I were riding our bikes around the pond this Goose caught my eye....he surely was interested in me and not following the rest of the Geese in ignoring me....as he was staring at me the others kept honking and seemed to me they were telling him to turn around and stop staring at the human! Hahahaha! I hope you enjoy!

I was amused when i saw your shot... I had the chance to take something similar that Monday... I will post it tomorrow.

They look like a race of swimming who wait the signal to travel the pool... Very nice!

A very funny story combined with a lovely picture, Bettina.... yeah, a Dutch saying might be appropriate here: "humor is on the streets"!

Lovely shot, how did you get them to stand in such a straight line :)

Nice composition and an amusing shot.

Well captured

Good shot and good note to go with it. Colours in the water look good, and geese contrast well with it. Perhaps a little bit of PP to tiday the background and make it less busy, but thats being really finicky!
Thanks for sharing
Mark
