Winter pics
Wow, just look at my procrastination skills. I promised ages ago I'd upload my pics from the aftermath of the ice storm that hit and here we are at the start of spring (at least where I am) and I still haven't uploaded them.
Well, here they are!
( Very large pics this way! )

It seems that our Canadian geese in IL had much longer necks though, at least while I was there. I swear, those geese were friggin huge! Like their heads would be at hip level or taller! Also, they were all "COME AT ME, BRO!" type ass-holes and you couldn't walk within 5 feet of them.
This is bad for me who likes birds.

Oh, these geese do have very long necks, they just look shorter when they're sitting on the water. And yeah, they're also assholes, but at this pond they view people as living food dispensers, so they do let you get a bit closer. Get too close and they'll walk away and hiss at you though, especially in the spring when they have chicks. These last two pics were made possible by the awesome zoom on my camera, so I'm not actually all up in the one goose's face.
Ugh yeah, birds in general are difficult to photograph. They either yell at you if you get too close or fly away just before you get them in reach of your zoom. There was a male cardinal I kept trying to get but he was a scaredy pants and kept flying away.

Oh, and pretty pictures.
We didn't get the ice up here, just a bunch of really cold rain.

Yeah, consider yourself lucky then. As pretty as the ice was, it turned the road into a giant ice-skating rink and glued car doors shut. In order to free my sister's car from the ice (which has fused her tires with the road), we had to dump several gallons of boiling water on the tires. D8
