MORE CANADA GEESE
Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 30 June 2007 in Animal & Insect.
The crux of this story about photographing the geese:
My daughter was sitting in the car whilst I was snapping! I heard her on her cell phone, and sounded like she was talking to my grandson! Well! as I approached - I could hear him!!! It seems he was in trouble. On his way to a job interview, his car alarm started - and it wouldn't stop! So, my daughter, being the good mother that she is, told him to get to us (he was six blocks away from us in downtown Vancouver) and he could take our vehicle to his interview. He had already been to the hotel where the interview was to take place, and they wouldn't let him park there! - I wonder why?? Within a minute or so - I could hear police sirens, ambulances and a heck of a noise approaching us. He arrived! right alongside the geese in the parking area. So my daughter and I headed down to the dentist office in a car that everybody thought was stolen! the noise was awful. My grandson, Adam, had only had this alarm system put in about a month ago, and I guess he got it extra loud because not too long ago he had his Honda Civvic stolen, which was found later with everything ripped out - dvd player and viewer, stereo system and speakers - all gone - and he had to start again!
In the meantime, everybody was staring at my daughter and me, driving down Beach Avenue with all these wonderful English Police Car sounds coming out of us! She dropped me off, and went off, according to directions from her husband, to get the alarm fixed at an Auto place. I went in and got my dental work done!!! - to be continued........
Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!
Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
