This Time of the Year, Again
We had a hot and dry spring, a summer with a wet spell and then hot again. I’ve been enjoying the hot weather tremendously, much more than in recent years for very personal reasons. The heat has come back last week and I took delight in the weather during the last week of my holidays. I took my bike out this afternoon and cycled down the road in the summer sun – when these guys stopped me short.
“Noooooo! Not yet!!”
The geese in the meadow are a stark reminder of summer’s end. These geese will be fattened up for another two months or three to be served either on as traditional goose at Martinmas or as Christmas dinner. Time waits for no one. Not for summer. Not for the geese. Not for me.

The photoshopped versions are all cropped. A I changed the shot to monochrome but applied selective colouring to the orange of the beak and the area around the eye. B No change to shot A except the selective colour has been changed from orange to blue. C The focus around the head of the goose in the centre has been kept but the rest of the photo is taken out of focus. D I used lunapic.com to change the photo into a picture in the style of Rembrandt.

A wild goose chase
What started out as an argument (or possibly a bullying incident)
amongst domestic geese
turned into a wild fracas
before settling down again when everyone left.
