WOW amazing they were that close, Beautiful capture of the moment, treasured keepsake for sure! #6276140Sherran Andersen August 05, 2008
Thank you Patrick, Angela and Peaches... I appreciate your positive comments. The tip to get them close like that is duck food... works everytime lol. Sherran #6276714Mary K. Robison August 06, 2008
Sherran, this is such a lovely capture, and I truly envy anyone who's been able to get these beautiful Canadian geese to "eat out of his hands".Sherran Andersen August 06, 2008
Hi Mary... thanks for the comment... I appreciate it. Duck food which comes in pellets consists of grain ...you can get it at just about any pet food store... very cheap!! The geese at this particular park are used to being fed so this is another factor why it was easy. Hope this helps! Have a wonderful day. Sherran #6278504Sam Britt August 06, 2008
