Geese at Medicine Hat


A wonderful friend named Jim helped me through a tough time a few years ago by suggesting we go out every month or so to just take photos. It was a lot of fun chosing a theme then spending a few hours hunting for unique images around town.
This photo is one of the products of our last expedition, to the college pond at Medicine Hat College. We had started to head back to the car and I wanted to take one last shot of a gander and goose at a nest. Jim said: "It sure would be nice if she got off the nest and let us see the eggs." Just at that moment, as I was within a couple feet of the twosome -- the gander hissing at me -- out popped this beautiful little florescent yellow/green gosling through the goose's wing. Neither of us could believe our luck, and then two more chicks popped through.
Who could ask for anything more!
