The Blue-eyed Goose

Maybe all geese have blue eyes; I don't know. I woke this one up when I snapped its photo the other day along the river. The goose is actually standing in shallow water through which you can see goosey footprints.

That's beautiful, Bibi. I know not about geese's blue eyes, but this photo is so sharp...one can easily see the shine and delineation of the wings.

Now you have me wondering if all geese are blue eyed. Great capture.
