Or at least to the other side of the lake. This is a Canadian Goose at Platte River State Park, SW of Omaha NE. There are tens of thousands that are migrating north. I'd like to thank Dennis F; he walked to the other side of the pond and the Canadian geese quickly came towards me!

Fantastic detail and color in that goose. And nice perspective. The lighting on that water is great too.

  Wow. No one can look at this image without commenting on the wonderful, bold color of the water. Love the play of light and shadow on the ripples. And the goose isn't bad either :)

  At Ken's age, this shot has a special "On Golden Pond" sentiment. I am glad I could help.
