It's not that I set out to photograph geese all the time, it's just that they're always doing such interesting things. Today at Nisqually a group of geese were all vying for the top of the tree position. I worked for a while on this shot. It was overcast and I had trouble metering because the sky was a blown out white if the tree trunk detail was there. The clouds broke for just a minute and this was the best shot I got during that time.

 I took Clover along to McLane Creek today, which means I wasn't looking to photograph birds or water. We took the back trail and I was wanting a nursing tree photo, but nothing I tried came out as well as this scene. We spotted this goose on the way back to the car. I don't know what that puffed-up posture means, but I was guessing it had something to do with Clover being along. Looks like I'm drawn to reflection photos now because of my class project. Tonight is my last class :(
