Why Are We Following Her? by taffy

Why Are We Following Her?

Because of our friends flight out this morning, we were up early and on our way into town after we'd dropped them off and picked up three sunflowers at the weekly (very tiny) farmers market (relevant to the end-of-day shot in my extras album). The sun over the lake was beautiful so Jim dropped me (and my camera) off at the public beach while he ran our errands (good person that he is). It was empty of people, but there were lots of seagulls (the tiny-looking birds just at the shoreline) and geese. A sailboat was leaving the harbor but other than that, it was a still as still could be. Nice way to start the day!
If interested, my 'end of day' photo is in my extras album: http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-08-15
The sparkle on the blue water is so gorgeous. I LOVED Lake Michigan!!

The water sparkle is my favorite part, along with the blues. Well done.

The blue of the water and the sunlight reflected upon it is just breathtaking. So glad you took the time to stop and capture it!

love the exposure (contrast) on this - and yes the sparkling water got me too, like diamonds. I can sense the stillness and peacefulness of the moment - great capture!

Nice blues! I've photographed a lot of geese, and oftentimes am lacking in color. This is great!

Sounds and looks like a wonderful start to the day. I like everything about this pic - what more can I say - fav!

Fun shot! Reminds me of the way the teenage girls used to flock together at the pep rallies, in the lunch room and at the soccer games when I was teaching.
August 17th, 2013  
Beautiful
August 17th, 2013  
Lovely composition. Love the birds on the lhs as well. Thought at first they might be people but obvious when I looked at it large that it wasn't.
August 17th, 2013  
What a sparkling way to begin the day!
August 17th, 2013

Wonderful low perspective for this capture. Great colors and light.

@anazad511 i think that is why they were heading to the beach...they saw me crouching down and pointing my long lens at them!

Definitely a great start to a day! I love the natural position on the right of the geese and then the man made position of the buildings on the left in the distance.
August 17th, 2013  
Lovely shot.

Thanks for commenting! These geese are funny to watch, but they really are a pain to have around the beach as they are not the cleanest things around! But that morning, I couldn't have been happier to be able to have them in that exact position.
August 18th, 2013  
Gorgeous bokeh on the lake! Great shot!
August 18th, 2013  
Beautiful capture.
August 18th, 2013  
Off to paradise, I guess...

Well, how cute is that! Greatly composed!

This is even better viewed large Taffy! A beautiful composition, lovely light catching the water and the geese waddling down. Great shot!
