This is from last May at a small nature preserve near my house. There were 3 Canada Goose families there. I loved seeing and photographing the little goslings.

A cutie pie! Good detail, catchlight and angle. A static shot, but solid.

Cute!! Very sharp, and perfect DOF.
They are small for about 15 minutes. :rolleyes:

I wish WE had 3 goose families - our area is completely over-run with C. Geese and wild Turkeys.. hundreds of both, and multiplying exponentially every year.

What a cute little guy Barb! We have several goose families around here, but it always seem they find a way to disappear/hide while the goslings are so small, so getting an isolated view of a single gosling is actually a challenge. Congrats!

This posting is so opposite the previous posting of the nasty looking gator! Definitely fluffy and so very cute! Great detailed look at this little guy. Good DOF choice to get him in focus and the background progressively blurred. Nice find and perfect for the theme, Barb. :smile:

This is just what I needed this morning Barb. You know - Something soft, cuddly, and cute :wink:
It reminds me that life as well as hope springs eternal. And in these uncertain times we all need a hug now & again..
Excellent :wavey:
