Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) are abundant in my area of northern Utah. I often try not to overlook taking images of them simply because of that. They are beautiful birds despite their sometimes cranky nature during the breeding season.

When I lived overseas as a child, and as a young woman, I missed seeing these large geese. I missed their calls, their flight formations, and seeing them waddle around.

I photographed this Canada Goose as it paddled past me on Glover’s Pond at Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area in northern Utah two years ago.

Life is good.
