Ok, so they're not ducks, they're Snow Geese but SNOW GEESE! just doesn't work. Before leaving for my bike ride yesterday morning I told Supreme Leader that I'd better take the camera because if I didn't then an eagle would land on my handle bars or something. No eagles, but I did get about ten thousand geese. The video is a little choppy and you might want to turn down the sound a little because it was windy.
I can't believe I came out of that clean.
**PICTURE ALERT**
Last weeks Fall picture post went over pretty well, I think, so I decided to do another for this Friday but give everyone a little more time to send them in. So this week, how about pumpkin patch pictures? Send me pics of your little ones in the pumpkin patch. If you don't have little ones, send nieces or nephews, friends, whatever. If your little ones are now big ones, send old pictures. If you have none of the above, take a picture of a pumpkin. This is open to everyone, including the lurkers. Come on, don't be shy! Once again, the email is:
ctordoff@yahoo.ca
I was thinking of doing Halloween pictures, but since it's not until Friday I figured it would be easier to let everybody take their pictures Friday and then send them in next week. What do you think? Guess we'll see how this one goes.

Ha! First!
ReplyDeleteIt's like they thought, "Oh Crap! A guy with a toque!" and all took off. Then, they attention spans being rather short, mid flight they thought, "Hey! I know where there's some nice open water!" and turned the hell around.
ReplyDeleteThat was stunning. I love it when I can hear the geese coming, and turn and see the V flying across the sky!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I guess the laws of Physics don't apply here. How else could I be # 3 and 4 at the same time?
ReplyDeleteWould you accept a picture of the pumpkin patch even though I already did a photo essay on it?
Would like to participate in this one..
You didn't get pooped on by any of those geese, did you? What a strange sight to see (we get seagulls in droves by the beach down here) but wow. Glad you had the camera for that one! FIFTH?!?
ReplyDeleteNice duckies. And I'm really liking this send-a-photo in thing. My new one is on its way....
ReplyDeleteEllie
wow... like a scene from The Birds.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally sending pumpkin patch pictures.. no one does a pumpkin patch like Iowa.. I learned that this year. Yep.
Not even close to first! You're so popular. Sadly, I won't be able to see this video until tonight. I can't see them at work. I know, it's like it's the early 1990s at my office for some reason. Also, you want pumpkin pictures? I'll give you pumpkin pictures!!
ReplyDeleteThis picture thing is a great idea!
That's a lotta geese. I'm glad to see you came through it unscathed.
ReplyDeletemaw-everybody wears toques here! But ya, they are that dumb.
ReplyDeletevodkamom-it was scary to hear
sprite-definitely
casey-not a drop!
ellie-me too, maybe I'll make it a regular thing.
cpm-the thought had crossed my mind.
jbg-Big Brother or just old computers?
heinous-not as glad as I was!
That was so cool! And slightly scary. But mainly cool. Snow geese, huh?
ReplyDeleteWTF BLOGGER! It just ate my damn comment. And it was a good comment that I cannot possibly recreate correctly now, with the anger surging through my veins.
ReplyDeleteAwesome geese. An eagle would have been better.
There you go.
Gah!
Note to self. Carve pumpkin before Friday.
ReplyDeleteI sent you a pic of last year's pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I picture you atop a Viking ship, in the lookout tower. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteAre snow Geese worth eating? 'Cause that's a Veritable flying smorgastboard.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm...christmas Goose.
Great idea! The kids are going to the pumpkin patch THIS WEDNESDAY, so the timing is perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh, one other thing, sorry:
ReplyDeleteI don't usually do this (plug my own post), but check out my post today for a line in the vid there that I put in near the beginning with a reference to Canada, eh?
It's like a scene from a Alfred Hitchcock movie. I'm scared! The birds! The birds! that was cool and I loved when you said "Oh shit! They're coming back!" Haaaaa! Cracked me right up.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant -
ReplyDeleteI'm BAAAAACK. Um, in the states we have sort of an arrangement with the birds. The other day a seagull (Utah's state bird. I'm. Not. Kidding.) shat on my car. I got out of the car and shouted to the sky, "It's on birt!" My across the street neighbor won't maintain eye contact with me any longer. Also? Did you know I have an irrational fear of birds? I DO. I have been pegged in the head, not once, but twice by ravens in my hometown cemetary. I used to run it every morning. Also? I've been attacked by a goose. I've been goosed (by Jeremy) and two seagulls (still our state bird) have pooped on me. What did I ever do to them?
ReplyDeletecool video. amazing. I will send over afew pumpkin patch photos. Gives me an axcuse to pull them from my camera.
