This week for Nurture Photography, the choices of topic are white or minimalist. I’ve kind of combined them with my geese.
Linking to Nurture Photography, Farm Fun Friday, Camera Critters, and Weekly Top Shot.

sweet set!
Feb 08, 2013 @ 13:44:25
They might be naughty, but they are beautiful!

The third one down with the little blue in a sea of white feathers is fabulous!

Thanks. The geese are surprisingly photogenic.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 15:07:37
Gorgeous blue eyes!
Feb 08, 2013 @ 16:27:39
I just love their blue eyes!
Feb 08, 2013 @ 16:04:47
They are gorgeous!! I agree, that third picture is just stunning!!
Feb 08, 2013 @ 16:27:52
That one is my favorite too.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 17:11:57
Beautiful birds. <3
Feb 08, 2013 @ 17:25:59
Thank you. I love the beauty of the geese.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 19:00:32
Gorgeous pictures!
Feb 08, 2013 @ 19:12:49
Thank you, Anne. The geese are very cooperative as long as they don’t have babies.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 21:08:09
Love the first shot…he looks shy.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 21:14:17
Shy isn’t exactly what I would call any of the Embden geese. They are pretty bold.
Feb 08, 2013 @ 22:34:39
I especially like photo number 3!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 08:41:29
Thanks. That was my favorite as well.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 09:11:11
A wonderful series of photos!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 11:43:19
Thanks, Martha!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 09:11:58
Awwwwwwww, wonderful, fun, and loving portraits today. Love the ones where they’re tucking their beaks in the feathers with barely an eye showing.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 11:43:54
That’s their normal position when it’s cold and windy. They can survive blizzards like that (even though they do have a barn they can go in).
Feb 09, 2013 @ 09:14:02
Beautiful!
Have a wonderful day!

The are awesome shots of your geese. They look like they do not mind posing for you! Have a happy weekend!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 11:44:33
They are awesome photo models for a large part of the year.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 09:32:43
Willing subjects and all lovely in their own way.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 11:44:51
They are beautiful birds. Thanks for stopping by.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 09:54:39
Wow your geese are nicer then ours. We have those Canadian things… Great shots!!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 11:45:34
Well, in another month I’ll be posting pictures of the ganders chasing me and the geese hissing at me as I try to gather their eggs. They are not nice in the breeding season.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 12:37:39
I absolutely love these wonderful photos! Stunning! Happy weekend!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 12:39:20
Thanks. I think the geese are truly beautiful!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 17:06:23
Thank you so much.
Feb 09, 2013 @ 12:42:07
They’re so pretty!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 17:06:53
I had someone once ask if they were swans. I’d say they are just as beautiful!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 12:56:41
I love these photos…these are just marvelous!! Stunning!!

Feb 09, 2013 @ 17:07:26
Thanks. I love photographing the geese (when they don’t have nests).

What wonderful goose portraits… LOVE those blue eyes! Thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #69!
Feb 09, 2013 @ 20:44:22
Thanks. I am always amazed at those blue eyes with the orange rim.
Feb 10, 2013 @ 02:11:35
Wonderful photos! Those eyes look amazing in all that white.
Feb 10, 2013 @ 08:42:40
I love their blue eyes!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 02:43:42
It’s amazing how tightly the curl when sleeping ~ your pictures are very beautiful!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 08:40:54
They do just tuck that wing under and they are a little mound. They stay out in the worst weather like that (even though they do have a barn to get in).
Feb 10, 2013 @ 07:41:17
Lovely post!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 08:35:59
Thank you. They are beautiful birds.
Feb 10, 2013 @ 13:28:54
WOW- amazing photos, you did a fabulous job!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 15:46:28
Thanks. I thought this week’s challenge for the nurture photography challenge was much easier than last week.
Feb 10, 2013 @ 16:11:51
Oh they are lovely!!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 16:20:46
Thanks. I do think they are beautiful birds!
Feb 10, 2013 @ 19:08:11
I wondered if that’s a way to stay warm. are these on your farm?
Feb 10, 2013 @ 20:06:21
Yes. They are mine. They tuck their beaks under their wings, and they stay warm and dry! They are amazing creatures!
Feb 14, 2013 @ 12:45:19
Sweet!!!
Feb 14, 2013 @ 12:56:40
Thanks. They look sweet when they are all tucked in sleeping, but they can get mighty feisty!
