Canada geese
McArthur Island Park
Kamloops, B.C.
There is much to dislike about Canada geese. They overrun parks, school playing fields, marshlands in fall and sometimes through the winter, crapping all over everything with their nasty, slippery excrement. They won't move off paths and often have nasty dispositions, pecking viciously at passersby.
And, yet, there is something pleasing and special about them to most Canadians, bearing our country's name as they do. It just isn't fall (that's autumn in Canadian) until we can hear the honking overhead and look up to see the identifiable "V" flying pattern.
They do make a very nice picture against the snow and, in the end, that is all that matters to a photographer. :-)
