Nesting Canada Goose

This Canada Goose has a nest full of eggs. My wife, Dolores Kelley, captured this image when we were out to take flower pictures at the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia. This is a great place to visit when you are in the Richmond area. 

It is always good to have a camera in hand for those special moments.

Dolores and Roy Kelley visited the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, Virginia on Saturday, April 23, 2011. Photograph by Dolores Kelley. Canon PowerShot S90 camera.

Actually, we were very close to the goose.  She hissed at me when I took photographs which I will publish on a later date.

Hi Roy! I love the pictures of the goose. You are a great photographer! By the way, I keep trying to get a picture of the mourning dove nesting in my back yard, but her nest is hidden so deep in the branches, I can't get close enough. Have a great evening!

Hi Roy,

Great photos.  You and Delores are really talented when it comes to photography!  Thanks for sharing with us the pictures of this precious goose.  I can't wait to see the one where she was hissing.  They sure are protective!

Roy, You and Dolores really make a great team a photographers.  I can't wait to see the hissing photo!  Both photos are nice, yet the second one in your comments offers a lot of variety in colors and is quite beautiful and calming.

Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much for your comments. Dolores and I enjoy taking the pictures and it is very nice when others enjoy them.  Thanks, Gloria, for the Birds Group feature recognition.

Have a great weekend. Real estate professionals in Maryland are very busy this weekend as home buyers take advantage of the attractive home prices and very low mortgage interest rates. It is a time of great opportunity.

Good evening Rob and Tony. Thanks for stopping by. Dolores and I spent the day at Longwood Gardens. It was a beautiful day for a day trip to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania.

Kind of like the local birds that hang out at the San Diego Zoo. When you find a nice place to call home, why leave?

Thanks for your comments. It is fun to find those special opportunities for photographs. I was able to see the nest full of eggs when the mother goose adjusted her position.

 Life is good!

As we near the end of this month, it is a very good time to compare our results with our goals and to make any needed adjustments.
