lovely family of Canada Geese, Steve, and a great image overall. very restful and pleasing, - but it wouldn't be restful if the gander started chasing you :) - the hissing can be scarey enough

Thanks Tania - and I like your amusing story, though it probably wasn't so amusing at the time!

Steve this is a wonderful capture. I to love the lighting reflections and the family. Where I lived when I first left my parents home had a guard goose. He attacked me often. Needless to say I got very fit.

Thanks Whittler. Yes, a summer's day stroll along a canal towpath is pretty much a moment in heaven!

I love the sunlight, shadow and reflections here. The geese are magnificent, of course. I like the FEEL of the protector as I stroll through the picture. Great picture, sgbrown.
