Morning traffic

There were a lot of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) coming and going at Huntley Meadows Park early yesterday morning. This one was descending rapidly and coming in so fast that it looked like the goose was going to land right on me.

  Thanks so much. The subject is pretty ordinary, but the angle of view and body position of the goose made this a fun photo that I decided I had to share.

  Thanks. After a tough afternoon commute, I felt the urge to post a fun photo that would make people smile.

you’d have to give him the international sign of I’m not a landing strip!
