Fluidr / Stepping Out! by craig goettsch

A Canada Goose gosling marches along with its two siblings as mom and dad stand guard. I was so close to them I could not fit the three of them in the frame - one of the disadvantages of a prime lens. I am also surprised I was tolerated the way I was by the parents but I think it was because I was seated on the ground before they came towards me and I made no attempt to move closer. They started in shadow and as they walked along they moved into the light which made for a really nice dark background. If you view large you can see a spider with a midge in its clutches in the lower left part of the frame - not sure how I caught that!

Thanks for your views and comments - they are so appreciated!
