Looking for inspiration and a moment of peace and quite I headed to Lake Balboa late yesterday afternoon.
This bird seemed to call out my name, yes, over and over but as I approached it it began to shake its head at me as soon as it realized that my camera was not food.
I was able to snap this right before it charged towards me trying to peck the lens. I'm not sure if it was angry or trying to protect its mate but it knocked me flat on my ass with its surprise attack.
As I got to my knees two other geese began to waddle towards me and I realized that they were as done with me as I was with them.
