Wordless Wednesday: Soft, Soft

I was experimenting with my new camera and took these photos. They're far from great--I was at the end of my run learning new things for the evening when the geese caught my attention yet again--but I liked it for the softness they capture. Truly, they are beautiful babies, beautiful creatures.

  3. Hi Sandy, you saved the best for last! One of these days I will have time for WW again.
    In the meantime you could check on Adi, my beagle, on my Ruby (Red) Tuesday. Adi is nice and soft too.

  14. Beautiful creatures indeed, and often very funny too!
    About your question, on the right of the photo on my post, on the top of the mountain, is the ancient monastery Sacra di San Michele.

    New camera? Oh, I am so jealous!

    My goslings are 5 weeks old - at that awkward in-between stage. New feathers coming in, but still has some remnants of down.

  28. wow sandy! nice to know that you have a new camera. we're already happy with the photos from your previous camera, but it seems that we'll be seeing an even better sets with this one.

    i liek your first subject! the second photo is really good! i like the idea of including a big part of the grass in the frame. the colors are impressive.

  30. Lacy the lab is sitting next to me as I read your blog. She is mesmerized by the little geese pictures. As I scroll up and down, her head goes up and down to follow them. Yes, she is salivating. Bad doggie... No, naughty naughty doggie. Not bad. She is 100% focused....

  31. Well, I like both photos becase I love updates on those babies! I would be over there all the time if they wee near me. . . so what kind of new camera do you have? I still have to get my old one sent to Olympus for repair because it was on warranty. I want a 20 zoom again tho. Maybe one day after the new computer and saving for campung this summer.
