Goosey goosey gander

I was rebellious today and took no photos at all. In fact I didn't even try - it feels slightly weird but I said I was going to be more relaxed about year two so here I am relaxing..... This is a shot from yesterday - the geese in Newnham make a lovely little community and are always a source of excitement for a spaniel.
Re the title - Gander does not rhyme with wander - that poem always annoyed me!
I love their orange beaks and the way they've lined up.

Fantastic colours and contrast! I often post two pictures from the same day on consecutive days and I'm only in year one!

Duck Duck GOOSE ... Nice shot!

It is your project & you can do it however you want. I love this shot.
I have a crazy busy life (like many people on 365 I'm sure) so for most days I take a picture. Some events/shoots are extra special & posting one shot is not enough (I have one album). Also there are days you have to set priorities.

This is too cute to not post!

Terrific shot! The orange beaks sure stand out against all the black and white!

awesome capture! who cares if you didn't actually take it today! it's your project! If I am out and see a few shots worthy of 365, I take them and save them. you never know when you will have a day when you either have no time, or no inspiration :-)
January 28th, 2012  
Wonderful shot! Surprised they are still here after Christmas!!
January 28th, 2012  
Love this shot ,they really do stand out against the dark background
January 28th, 2012  
SHOCKING!!! NO PHOTO!!! Well done...! Feel weird doesn't it? Lucy A and I were laughing it feels a bit like wagging school!! like this shot - great light. I'm going to be heading into Cambridge in the next couple of weekends as got some Jessops vouchers to spend (YAY!) are you still up for meeting and if so when are you free?
January 28th, 2012  
They look beautiful. So impressive against the black. I didnt take any photos for 2 days and felt quite guilty!
January 28th, 2012  
Love the way they all lined up. The line of orange looks great. I did the opposite today and skived
January 28th, 2012  
Damn phone... Skived chores to take pictures....
January 28th, 2012  
@sparkle Oooh yeah!!! I can do bits and pieces next weekend but the following w/end is half term which means no hockey fixtures so I'm free to please myself! Either Saturday or Sunday is good for me - I presume Jessops opens on Sundays too. If you like we can walk from our house and avoid Cambridge's exhorbitant parking charges (our drive rates are very reasonable!!). Exciting!
January 28th, 2012  
@fueast Bit confused there briefly - I didn't do any chores mind you - just skived the photos!
January 28th, 2012  
@judithg Oh well thats OK then
January 28th, 2012  
I love geese - they are such lovely little creatures and full of fun. Really nice shot!
January 28th, 2012  
@judithg cool I'll pencil the 12th in and post my mobile number in a random place in your album then we can make plans from there!
January 28th, 2012  
You missed a day! Good for you, I can't bring myself to doing that yet as I am pathologically disciplined. I am working on that though, so who knows what this year will bring :)
January 28th, 2012  
You deserve a day off :) I love the line of geese, great details :)
January 28th, 2012  
@sparkle @judithg Have fun on your 365 meet! I presume we will see some pictures of the happy occasion :)
January 28th, 2012  
@halkia LOL - it has been quite invigorating! I'm hoping we will get a few shots - I'll be jogging @sparkle 's arm if she starts getting better shots than mine!!
January 28th, 2012  
All in a row! Great shot!
January 28th, 2012  
aw this is wonderful!
January 28th, 2012  
nice composition, they look beautiful against the black background
January 28th, 2012  
Whao, great shot. When I was growing up in England everybody seemed to have three plaster ducks on the wall, all in a row, just like these. Thank goodness these are moving - a quacking good pic!
January 28th, 2012  
you've done well with the whites judith....it's very easy to blow them out ....there's a nice symmetry and feel to this image
January 29th, 2012  
oh wish I could relax, but my year two is meant to be full on 365, looking forward to year 3! this is great btw
January 29th, 2012  
Beautiful! Great capture :)
January 29th, 2012  
What beautiful birds. :) I love how they are all looking the same way.
January 29th, 2012  
Nicely captured geese. Nicely composed. Glad you relaxed and didn't take a photo today.
January 29th, 2012  
I love the contrast. Terrific shot.
January 29th, 2012  
This cute shot of the geese makes up for you "playing hooky" for the day! Don't feel guilty! )
January 29th, 2012  
Good for you listening to your own inner drummer. Like the way you captured these guys. the white is spot on
January 29th, 2012  
I wonder why I am frightened of geese - these look very tame. Your composition is great - especially because of the out of focus one in the back preening.
January 29th, 2012  
Love the detail Judith, and the pure white. Great shot.
January 29th, 2012  
Oh lovely capture
January 29th, 2012  
Gorgeous shot, love how they re all lined up.
January 29th, 2012  
Fab shot, all in a row. Well done!
January 29th, 2012  
So with you on the annoying non rhyming of the poem! Lovely shot, I like how they all formed a great line for you!
January 29th, 2012  
they are great, love this gaggle and the composition - and gander does rhyme with wander if you're in the north-east - I had real problems listening to children read there trying to work out what was misreading and getting my head in gear for their accents - all the vowel sounds are so different
January 29th, 2012  
Wonderful composition with the geese all in the right place,could be a Christmas card ! You must feel a bit weird with no pressure to take a daily photo...don't know whether that will work for me!!! I might need that commitment to keep on track, we shall see !!

Love their heads all lined up.
January 30th, 2012  
Love the light!
January 30th, 2012  
Love it!
