Sweet pics I took today (inside)

Today I was using a Nikon D1 with an 80-200 2.8 AFS. Normally I shoot with a D70 and my results would have been better if I was, but it's in the shop right now with a blown shutter.

Special. Wonder how many of the pairs of geese wound up run over...

meh, i don't think any. People were actually pulling over in their cars and watching them, but I couldn't get a good picture of that.
 
That's really cool. One time when I lived near a lake a family of geese showed up in my backyard. I don't know how they got there, but they didn't stay long and decided to walk across the cul de sac into someone elses backyard. The only problem was that they forgot a couple of their babies in my yard. It was fun, those little things are so cute.
 
I spent all last summer with a personal hatred against them. ..after they made me late by blocking the road. Most of the time the geese knew people would stop and let them cross. But not with me. I just honked the horn and stepped on the gas .....and I had to wash my car a lot last summer. Front of my car looked like a feather duster.

Another time, at the local driving range, a few geese were doing their little hissing and charging routing. So I did mine, with a sand wedge in hand. Thats one club that will never be used for golf again.

I want you in front of my car.
 
You'd think in a civilized country people would show caution and give the right away to little chicks crossing a road. The area I work is in a strip of businesses with a common road running thru. There are many ponds in a park like setting along the whole area. Lots of geese stop their every year to make nests and raise chicks. They also cross the road often.
(now the sad part)
Many of these businesses have semi trucks coming and going constantly. Way too many of these sadistic sick truck drivers think its a game and fun to plow thru a group of chick crossing the road. Many don?t even try to slow or stop.
Its really sickening to see.
For years I've been trying to get the businesses to join together and put speed bumps along the common road, or at least post caution and warning signs saying "geese crossing - prepare to stop". But the truck drivers keep winning out. They don't want speed bumps, naturally.
All I can think is how sick some people are in this country, that they think running down baby chicks is fun or a game.
I'd love to have laid these drivers down on the road, when there were a baby, and waited for trucks to run them over.
When I see this, I often want to move to Japan, and live with civilized humans.
 
Nice pics but too bad some car didn't come and run those vermin off the road.

I can't stand those things. Last summer I got aerial bombarded by a flock of them. I got hit in twice in my face, on my head and back.
