Description


I'm back to that first day in New York City, when Leslie and I took a walk around Oakland Lake, in Bayside, Queens. I have had/will have a lot of meetings and appointments last/this week. I feel like I'm taking one step forward and two steps back at getting anything else done. I hope to be mostly done with them by the end of the week. (except for the dentist :( That's on Monday) Thanks for viewing, and for any comments and favs!

These are Canada geese (not Canadian I am cautioned to add). Just what we need, more illegal aliens, oh wait, the election is over. Never mind. They look well fed. Does Scrooge know about these guys? Christmas is just around the corner. Very cool image. One looks like its posing and other is giving you attitude (you lookin' at me?). Fingers crossed, no cavities.

SOOO cute those two seeing here together. A lovely couple, Lucinda. I like this picture very much, also with the textures and shadow in it. Good luck with your dentist. ('Before you know it's already done')

First of all Lucinda, this is such a cool way to start the day with a visit to your gallery. Looking at the upload it instantly made me realize this is an important one as it is your 200th so CONGRATULATIONS :) So nice to see you've returned to that first day in New York and hopefully you have several pics yet from your trip to share with us. This one is cute and says so much about you as a person because your first day there finds you searching out something adorable to photograph. Thanks for the smile :)

I love the vibe of this! I happen to like geese...ducks...and any other sort of dinosaur-shaped bird. These two look so regal, healthy, and quite large! I'll be they're heavy too! I'm always amazed at seeing them walking around, acting goose-ish and doing goos-ish things, and then I think of their size and that they tend to fly vast, vast distances. Amazing. Anyway, enough of that...this is a fantastic pair. I love your use of light and shadow and the way that the colors are so nicely subtle. There's great variety in the colors, but you have to actually pause, take a moment, and live in that moment fully with the photograph without people yammering and clamoring for their attention. I think that's what really works the best in this photo...those hidden details. I especially like the band of blue across the top: your only reference to sky and water and it's all in the same thing. Really well seen and presented. I like this a lot.

you know, I realize that because you're in the middle of the alphabet, you're in the letters that I get to at the end of my commenting. ("Pardon me?" you ask. I'll explain. I don't go by ebots, 'cause---as you may know---when you're absent a long time, saving ebots requires the State of New Jersey for storage. So I look at everything as it comes in, but then go to the frontpage of each gallery when I finally comment. In other words, I save URL's for everyone I want to see, and go to each gallery & choose as many images as time allows. And guess what? You're in the middle of those URLs. Why is that significant? ((I hope I'm not boring you to tears...)) Because I tend to go to A's and then to Z's, then B's and then to Y's, etc. So M's are last. Teams of scientists have tried to figure it out my method, but they haven't...So: I decided that, next time, I'll start with "M" and then you'll be first. I know that's so earth shattering you'll probably retire, but at least I explained. Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...) By my calculations, this is image 200. Did anyone notice? Yes! DAVE noticed! Leave it to our resident guardian angel to know these things! And what a lovely 200: A delightful capture of geese. Partly because of the random postures---they're both looking to our right even though they both face different directions. And partly because you gave us a background that has similar hues & patterns to the geese. Very nice harmony! They really do harmonize. I'm told that geese are a major nuisance in cities, because they eat up parks, leave excrement everywhere, and don't exactly sound like Luciano Pavarotti...But they're beautiful birds; and when you see them fly in formation, they're formidable. Delightfully captured (most visible full size), and a huge congratulations for 200! Yours is a wonderful, rich, varied and loving gallery. And I didn't know there was any lake in Queens. Shows you how little I know...

I'm surprised these guys didn't attack you for getting so close. They are a lovely plump couple. I especially love the dappling of shadows from some unforeseen tree that I know is there. I like the way that just a little bit of the water shows to give us the feel for the surroundings as well. It all adds to the beauty and story of this great shot. Excellent work again.
