Find a safe place to cross then stop...... by filsie65

Find a safe place to cross then stop......

These geese seemed to have got the idea on how to cross the road on a drizzly murky day. But no, moments later they were pacing around and drinking out of the gutter... euch!!
Not very friendly or clean either but it was very wet and muddy today so I can't be too surprised at their mood...!
(The road does indeed slope down to the river, btw!)
Gosh thank you for your kind comments on my fading shot yesterday - after a deep sleep it was such a tonic to wake up and find them in my inbox! (Ditto coming home to some more after a mix-up on the school run had me in the car for nearly 3 hours.... honestly...) TGIF tomorrow... keep safe and hope you see marvellous sights wherever you are :)
love it!

Oh this is priceless - very clever birds

They do look a little nervous.

Early mornings the ducks in Chesham use the zebra crossing to waddle across the ring road from the park into the High St. .... Makes me smile whenever I see it!

Love this! Beautiful capture.

Glad to see they know the maxim, first look to the right, then to the left....

You certainly have your "geese" in a row. Cute.

Fav. Love this with the soft focus and the orange is just perfect in it.

Why are they standing in the gutter Maybe trying out the why did the chicken cross the road joke but then maybe not............I think I'm tired and have had a good glug of red wine!!

OMG! What a fantastic shot! It's not often you get geese crossing the road! It's like that chicken joke! LOL ... You captured these geese really well. Looks like 4 in total? Are the dark spots on the white ones mud/dirt or is it that they have spots? Great find. Well done! :)

Great capture - I like how they're all lined up!

That dreamy light in the background is delicious! Charming capture

Cool shot. They are not high in the "attention span" department.

Such a great find :o) I'm wondering when the Green Cross Code Man or Tufty is going to show up to show them the ropes xx

This shot is so cool, like how it looks like they waiting to cross.
