In 2005 and after 31 years in the brewing industry I chose "Freedom 55" and retired early. This allowed me to follow my passion of scuba diving and travel. I moved out to Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada for 3 years and became a professional scuba instructer.  Shortly after returning from New Zealand in the fall of 2011, I have been having to deal with a couple of non diving related medical issues which has forced me to hang up the mask and fins for a spell. This should give me more time for taking pictures...lol.

"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

Nice work. Aloha

That is probably the worst type of tag ever conceived. I find it disgusting that people would tag geese this way and I will personally remove any I can get my hands on!
giulband

Nice and funny capture!

Good Lord, poor guy. Every time he eats that tag is gonna be sliding and banging into the base of his head. While I can concieve of this making for easy observation, it seems a very poorly thought out tag from the animals point of view.

I wonder if the tagged ones are embarrassed around their untagged friends? And it seems like a dangerous thing for them to have to wear, what if it gets caught on something? You got a great shot of this bewildered bird!
sossy

What a strange way to tag a bird? It looks like a Vicar LOL!

Geez, could they have made that tag any bigger?! I think I'd agree with the rest of the bunch about personally taking it off this poor little guy any chance I got. It is a superb capture though, my Friend! I love the green grass in the background!
angora
