GETTING GUSSIED UP

Uploaded by: BEME — Sunday March 25, 2012 — shenandoah, IA (Current Weather Conditions)

This goose came out of nowhere,startling me,and nonchalantly glided by until it decided it found the perfect spot to take a bath,maybe getting ready for a Saturday night out-on-the-town?! I loved the soft ripples [no wind] and setting-sun-drenched glow of light on it's feathers...Another unusually warm day/evening!

THANK YOU AGAIN MY FRIENDS! Actually,this goose was taking a bath after stepping into the water nearby,which totally surprised me,as I did'nt hear it coming in...the larger view at least on my computer looks just awesome,along with some others I worked on! So glad you folks enjoyed this one,,I was amazed that it made A/C!:)))

COPPER AND GOLD OR SO I'M TOLD
ARE A BIT LIKE SISTER & BROTHER
IF THEY'RE POLISHED & SHINED
& UNUSUALLY KIND (& THAT'S HARD TO FIND)
THEN U CAN'T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER!
WHEEEEEEEE, THESE COLORS WERE MADE FOR EACH OTHER. SOUNDS LIKE HE WAS ALMOST LIKE A SHADOW GLIDING IN. THAT'S NEAT. U HAVE YOUR MOMENT IN THE SUN & WE SURE TAKE A SHINE TO IT. PERFECT TITLE...AS USUAL. SO GRACEFUL & SUCH GREAT TIMING. I'LL GLADLY GIVE U A '10' AND MORE. HATS OFF TO YOUR 'AC'.
U KEEP SENDING..WE'RE UP WITH YOUR 'DOWN'. LOVE & COPPER FEATHERS.

About BEME
BEME Hi KIDDIES!!! O.K.,,there seems to be a bit of confusion about this photo,,,I AM on the left,,a gal!![MINDI],,and the right-hand pic is of BOB my hubby!! I cloned the two images together,,of us taking pics of each other,,so we could give you folks an idea of who we are,,replacing the previous photo of our two favorite eagle family youngsters...We live in Shenandoah,Ia.,,and enjoy [especially me] taking lots of pictures!! I do most of the posting on here,,that's MY thing..and I try to put up Bobs when he takes some good ones...I would also like for you to check out the older ones from time,to time,,I like to share my images,,though not always the greatest,,just to give you an idea what life is sometimes like here in S.W. Iowa.. I came out here from the East Coast and interior New England,where I lived until 1992,,I also lived in Philly for a few years,and Bob is born and raised here in Shenandoah.,,but loves other places that we have visited too. I am happy to have found this site to learn how to take better photos,,meet new people,and make new friends,and be dazzled by what folks share of their 'world'in pictures on here. THANK YOU WuNDERGROUND! I appreciate all your kind words and mail,and critique as much as I enjoy giving back in kind! SHARE THE LOVE!!
