As Autumn begins to give way to winter, the morning sky and light becomes more soft, as Mother Nature takes a turn and starts her winter hibernation. This sure was a different styled shot for me. I actually intended to get down to Washington Park and shoot the sunrise but instead was greeted with something that seemed otherworldly. The sun backlighting the clouds and the dampness in the air made for quite a surreal feeling, standing here in absolute solitude, not a sound, not even the Geese you see in the water made a sound…it was ominous. I figured I would try something really different for once and got out my tripod and put on my Minolta 28mm F2.8 lens for this shot ( I am LOVING that damned lens BTW, sharp as a tack!) and started firing off shots, then it hit me,—-why don’t I try a few long exposures, and well, this is the end result. 10 seconds. Personally I kinda like it, an odd impression it gives with the Geese in the water, reminds me of a painting, and surreal as well. Does it work?? I am not entirely sure, you be the judge. I would love to hear what ya all think of this shot. I have gone ahead and submitted it under the surreal category, a category I don’t think I have ever submitted to before…. Anyways, I would love some feedback on this! / Thanks all! / -John / -—-—-—-——- See more on my website jdebordphoto.com / All artwork is © John De Bord, All Rights Reserved.

We took a drive to the other side of the park to see the ducks and geese….poor little guys, they stay here all winter because people feed them all during the warmer months even though there are signs all over saying not to….I wonder if those same people venture out of their warm homes to feed them, when their ponds are frozen and they are hungry. / . / . I had to nab a shot of these shadows at sunset and you can see some of the little guys in the background. / .. / . / . / . / . / . / . / . / . . . / . / . / . / Landscape photography….cheap kodak digital camera…set to landscape and added a small touch of shadow…he he he. Wish I had the fancy stuff but not too bad anyway huh ? (crosses fingers). Maybe after Christmas I’ll get my hands on one and begin to learn what all the talk is.

The Black Swan Black on flat water past the jonquil lawns / Riding, the black swan draws / A private chaos warbling in its wake, / Assuming, like a fourth dimension, splendor / That calls the child with white ideas of swans / Nearer to that green lake / Where every paradox means wonder. Though the black swan’s arched neck is like / A question-mark on the lake, / The swan outlaws all possible questioning: / A thing in itself, like love, like submarine / Disaster, or the first sound when we wake; / And the swan-song it sings / Is the huge silence of the swan. Illusion: the black swan knows how to break / Through expectation, beak / Aimed now at its own breast, now at its image, / And move across our lives, if the lake is life, / And by the gentlest turning of its neck / Transform, in time, time’s damage; / To less than a black plume, time’s grief. Enchanter: the black swan has learned to enter / Sorrow’s lost secret center / Where like a maypole separate tragedies / Are wound about a tower of ribbons, and where / The central hollowness is that pure winter / That does not change but is / Always brilliant ice and air. Always the black swan moves on the lake; always / The blond child stands to gaze / As the tall emblem pivots and rides out / To the opposite side, always. The child upon / The bank, hands full of difficult marvels, stays / Forever to cry aloud / In anguish: I love the black swan.

An acrylic painting of two Canadian geese floating on the water, feeling safe and at home. / I wanted to get that feeling into the painting…..the geese being in their element and feeling at home in the tranquility of the water; even the sky touching the water and the reflections in the water are like one and emphasize to that feeling, in my view. Acrylics on canvas, 2008, 76×61 cm or 24”x30”

Best Viewed Full Size! Come Away With Me / from the great Norah Jones “Come away with me in the night / Come away with me / And I will write you a song Come away with me on a bus / Come away where they can’t tempt us / With their lies I want to walk with you / On a cloudy day / In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high / So won’t you try to come Come away with me and we’ll kiss / On a mountaintop / Come away with me / And I’ll never stop loving you And I want to wake up with the rain / Falling on a tin roof / While I’m safe there in your arms / So all I ask is for you / To come away with me in the night / Come away with me” Had I-Tunes going as I worked on this one … and when Norah Jones’ inimitable “Come Away With Me” came on, it all came together. Image taken May 1, 2008 with the Nikon D40x, using the 55-200mm vr Nikon/Nikkor lens down the road from my house. Image post processed to within an inch of its little life including cropping, Photoshop tweaks, hdr in Photomatix, then back to Photoshop for levels, layers including Orton, some erasing, then Median, then more erasing.

In my yard late winter 09’ playing in the puddles, enjoying life~ / / Canada Goose Facts / • Life expectancy about 20 years / • Weight: 20-25 pounds / • Migration is a learned process / • Migratory geese flight range 2 – 3 thousand miles / • Resident geese flight range: 100 –200 miles to find food, water, and safety. / • Resident geese can fly long distances as their migratory cousins, but generally have learned that it is not necessary. / • Migratory geese do not become resident geese unless they are injured. / • Mating season: February to March / • Geese mate for life and will stay together during all seasons. / • Geese will find a new mate if mate dies or is killed. / • Migratory geese nest in Canada. / • Geese nesting in the U.S. are “resident” geese who were born here. / • Resident geese were imported to the area for rebuilding dwindling numbers for conservation or hunting. The urban nuisance was not anticipated. / • Nesting Season: Mid March to mid May / • Age of geese when they begin to nest: 3 years / • Geese return to the general area of their birth each year to mate and nest. Sometimes the exact site, sometimes a nearby pond or other body of water. / • The instinct to return to their general area or birth is very strong. / • Migratory geese fly 2,000–3,000 miles to return to these sites. / • Resident geese do not know how to migrate. / • When geese are chased from their traditional nesting area or the nesting area has too many nesting pairs, they find alternative sites to nest … sometimes farther from water, sometimes in nearby ponds, sometimes on rooftops or balconies. They will hide their nests. / • Geese prefer isolated sites near water to nest. Islands are their favorite location. / • Nests are usually on the ground, in the open. / • Sometimes geese nest in brushy or swampy areas not subject to flooding. / • When egg laying begins the “Father” goose will stand sentinel watch nearby, but not so close as to give away location of nest to a predator. When a solitary goose is seen during nesting season a nest is somewhere in the vicinity. / • The eggs in a nest are called a “clutch” / • Average number of eggs in a nest: 5 / • Mother goose lays 1 egg approximately 1_ days apart until full clutch is obtained. / • Eggs not being incubated are cool to the touch. / • Mother goose waits until all eggs are laid before she begins to sit on nest to incubate eggs / • Incubation time: 28 – 30 days / • Undeveloped eggs (still fluid) will sink or float vertically with the wider portion of the egg pointing down. / • Developed eggs will float horizontally or at a slight angle and break the surface of the water. At that point they are one to two weeks away from hatching. / • All geese eggs in a single clutch hatch on approximately the same day / • Baby geese are called “goslings”. / • Natural predators of geese are foxes, raccoons, owls and snapping turtles / • Goslings can fly approximately 2-3 months after hatching. / • During June adult geese lose wing feathers and are unable to fly. This is called molting. / • Molting season runs from early June to late July. / • Geese can fly again approximately 6 weeks after molting. / • Generally by early August all geese (except injured geese) are able to fly. / • During the molt geese need to be near water (any water) for easy escape from predators. The molting area needs an easily accessible food supply. /
