Bottoms up!

[wraithfodder]

I was driving along, minding my own business, when I am going around a reservoir and see THIS....



 

 

It was four geese just dunking and dunking and dunking, for what, I'm not sure, but I loved how they'd sometimes just stick their feet in the air. And here is a nice field I drove past near a farm, where chickens were running wild! .

I wonder what statement they were trying to make. Do they know elections are in a few days?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hmm, yeah, could be that! ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup, sorta thought icebergs too :) And ooh, that little spider on that site IS cute!

[gatedialer.livejournal.com]

so frakking cute!!!!

[ga-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Obviously those free-range chickens are training to be snipers or something as none of them are visible amongst the foliage. ;-)

You should submit the pic of duck bums to CuteOverload.com; although "'Tocktober" is over, cute animal bottoms are always appreciated.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, the chickens scattered across the road pretty fast.

Hmm, yeah, I could submit the geese shot!

Multiple times! ;)

Actually they are eating the grassy stuff on the bottom, I see a lot of our water birds doing that during low tide on the Long Island Sound. They do that in lakes too. They could be saying kiss this!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ah hah! This was a lake.

[timespirt.livejournal.com]

I know, but they eat the grass off the bottom of them too. I knew it was a lake.

That's an amazing shot. All those duck butts in a row You should enter it in a competition.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Hmm....

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Now you know what they think of you. ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

WEll, obviously took a while for it to sink in as they were still doing it when I left ;)

[leesa_perrie]

Love the mooning geese! *g* And the field of hidden chickens is very pretty too.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the chickens were way off to the left, so definitely out of frame, but I just liked the field a lot :)

You know the picture + Sheppard Icon = Hilariously funny post!

Thanks!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, I actually chose that icon exactly for this entry ;)

[nebbyjen.livejournal.com]

LOL You always post the most interesting photos.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. :)

[ed263.livejournal.com]

You know I've been wondering...all these great pictures you take, are they taken with your cell phone or do you always have a camera with you?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

that day, I actually had my camera with me and it has a zoom lens. alas, my cellphone is so cheap it has no camera in it :(

[ed263.livejournal.com]

I thought they were taken with a camera. I used to have my camera with me a lot as well, until it was stolen. I don't carry my new camera with me as much for fear of it getting stolen as well and if you had said the pictures were from your cell phone, I was going to ask for the brand. :-)
Hope to see many more great pictures from you!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

well, i went out intentionally to take fall foilage shots when i happened across the mooning ;) Normally I do not take that camera with me, but do have a smaller one (that I used to take shots of the bird that flew into our work building). NOt as high quality though...

That one goose on the left is so not making the water-ballet team this year. "Stay in formation you moron!" screams the coach.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha!

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

Are you sure these aren't the Republicans after last night's election?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Ah, but these are geese, not ducks *cough*.

[nat-am-drachen.livejournal.com]

Cute. When I first looked at the picture, I didn't even see their feet. I thought what weird looking dolphins those were. Silly me. Geese. *shudders* We will be overrun where I work with geese in about a month. We started out with only a couple three years ago and last year we had 34 before the bobcat, fox, feral cats, & alligator got some. I think we wound up with 22 in the end. They poop everywhere and get in our strawberry field; can't eat the wild ones.

Wild chickens brings back memories. The first real job I had after college was in a county where the USDA turned chickens loose as an experiment. The descendants are still running wild in the middle of town. I would drive down the street wondering if I hit one, if I really wanted to defeather it. I would go out to my car in the mornings, after being woken by the rooster on my patio, and find during the night chickens have laid eggs on and around my car. :)
end of rambling comment

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Behind in my mail! :) Heh, well, never have had eggs laid near my car but did find some rabbit guts on the floor when a cat caught a bunny and dined on it in the car. After that, I rolled up the windows and locked the doors!
