The Chase by pflaume

The Chase

I was amused by this little girl chasing the poor geese through the park. She was relentless in her pusuit and thoroughly enjoyed herself. The geese - not so much. Luckily, despite her best efforts, she could never quite catch them. :)

I don't not very good at seeing candids of people or street shots, so this is a bit of variety for my album. B&W for Black White Wednesday (BWW).

Thank you all for your comments and FAVS on my recent hot air balloon festival photos. I was delighted by your responses. As always, I really appreciate the time you take to view and comment on my photos. Thank you!!
Very nice capture.

Those geese got some exercise... ;)

This is such a great capture - the geese must not have been too bothered or they would have flown away. Love that you caught them all in stride.

Very sweet. Must have been fairly chilled out geese

Nice one. She needs to be careful because when they turn on you these buggers can give you a nasty peck.

Great title, nice capture of a typically child activity when birds, ducks, etc. are around.

@steampowered So true! I thought the same thing. I think if it had been spring time, it would have been a different scene. Thanks for your comment, Paul!

Such a charming scene and capture, it really catches the 'feel' of the chase and it's so what little ones do around birds. Love the light, airy look to the shot as well.

Funny shot. Good job she didn't catch them, they can have a nasty peck.

I always feel bad for birds when kids arrive! I almost wish they'd stand up for themselves and do a lot more pecking! *insert evil laugh here*
