Goose esooG by digitalrn

Goose esooG

Stopped by the old fishing hole after therapy to enjoy some fresh air. The weather was bit cool, so there were no fishermen out tonight, but there were plenty of geese out walking about looking for some handouts. At one point a few came flying in across the lake, so I thought I'd wait a bit to see if I could capture one in flight. Well, it didn't happen. This guy seemed to be so fascinated with his reflection. He kept walking back and forth in the puddle, every so often reaching down, almost as though he was kissing himself. Everytime another one came close to the puddle he would stretch out his neck and honker away, warning them to stay clear. I guess he was truly wrapped up in himself.
Beautiful reflection and love this shot!

Perfect reflection! Sounds like he was quite intrigued with himself. :)

@clarissajohal The hand is coming along quite well. After my sixth PT session, the therapist is very impressed with the range of motion and strength I have regained. Probably this week they will begin more strengthening, and they are going to be working on the scar. I am well pleased, though I still must work on the fine motor details.
