Description Early morning encounter with a goose.
Featured hereΒ  Weekly Group Feature #13 14: 12/29/14 and 1/5/15As promised, here is the two-week merged feature. I hope I won't have to do this all too often, but this time around it just means there's more artwork to appreciate at once.
I would also like to announce that there will be a Spring contest this year. I have not worked out the rules, prizes, or dates for deadlines and such yet, but I will hopefully have that posted relatively soon. Any ideas are welcome, and if you'd like to help contribute to the prizes or judging, please note me personally (Mystiecub) as soon as possible.
And now, on with the feature!
Photo of the Week [12/29/14]:

Truth be told, I've never seen a sting ray with colors like this before. The yellows and blues are very bright and I love how the photograph is a close-up. It's a sharp, clear, well-taken photograph. Good job, MauriDiving !

Haha wow! Oh such a shot would have been great too, sad that you missed it . Maybe next time, they probably still don't like you or not!

I will have to go check! You are probably right, but he was protecting his mate who was nesting so I may not get that close again.

I have to tell you a story....

Brand new mini van, new smell and not a blemish on it, you know...right off the showroom floor...
Going to take the children to the park for a little outing....
Geese, lots of geese, children are enthralled, so am I
Shoot pictures, kids running and chasing geese, geese chasing me, geese tire of the game and leave...
We go to the new sparkling mini van, 6 of us all climb in and not until we are all buckled in do we notice
the goose poop from heel to toe to kneecaps and above now all over the minivan.....

Last trip to play with the geese EVER..............

haha

He does not look too friendly.Β  He's probably just hungry & asking for seeds.
Gorgeous feather detailing captured in this photo.

He was actually protecting his mate who was nesting nearby. He was actually quite intimidating.

Many farms have geese as guards, they are very intimidating. They nip pretty hard.
