Default Goose, bug and water

I have been very busy with the grandchildren, mummies not feeling well, so I haven't had much time to take photos. These are some I took during the week.

These fellows weren't to happy with me sitting so close.

Goose Step

This little fellow was hoping I would go away,

Hopeful Bug

and the last one, well lets just call it another mistake, although it could be better focused I thought the reflection was cool.

reflected drop-1

Those geese looked exactly like that but with their beaks open and wings flapping when my puppy Romeo got a little to close....let me guess who won that war of the turf...we had to leave. Lovely photos.

Thanks Ella, you'll be happy to know I stood my ground and won the war. Between you and me I was a bit worried I must have had about ten of them standing around me and in my face, but eventually they decided I wasn't going anywhere so they gave up.

Great shots. I love the second one. What kind of beetle is it? The mix of colours are great.

Michele, The beetle is excellent, It's so clear and colorful. Love the colors and the reflection on the drop, and I like the shot of geese being geese. I'm glad they didn't gang up on you.

The water drop is cool, something I have wanted to experiment with for a while now.
