You find one who needs to get her roots dyed ;)

A lower angle would have been nice, but it also would have been cold, wet, and probably would have scared off the subject.


For some reason, I find the white gives this goose a more regal look when she's floating around out on the lake.

Not familiar enough to know the difference.
