This morning, I wanted to share more of my Greater White-fronted Goose images I took six days ago. I haven’t gone through all of my photos of this goose yet.<\/p>\n

I did take a lot of photos of this migrating Specklebelly goose \u2013 over 1700 of them, in fact.<\/p>\n

When I have a rare, uncommon, or unusual bird in my viewfinder, I will take as many photos as I can.<\/p>\n

Why?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Because I know I might not ever have the opportunity with that subject again. I’d rather cull 1700 images of this goose than risk not taking enough to share later.<\/p>\n

I grew up an Army Brat; I traveled the world, never certain when a permanent change of orders might arrive, causing me and my family to relocate anywhere in the world, sometimes, in less than a month.<\/p>\n

That uncertainty taught me to savor each moment, as I realized I might not have the chance to experience it again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For me, the same holds true when it comes to my photographic journeys and subjects: I take photos as if I might never have my subject in my viewfinder again. That applies to rare, uncommon, unusual, or even far more abundant subjects.<\/p>\n

Thus far, that strategy has worked wonderfully for me, time and time again.<\/p>\n

I had great, unobstructed views of this Greater White-fronted Goose, so I took photos of it until it disappeared from my sight. I did the best I could with the light I had and enjoyed every moment with my subject.<\/p>\n

Yeah, life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
