TITLE: In the Fog

Shot at a lake near Leavenworth, KS. The goose was walking around the shore when i spotted it. I took out my camera and moved very slowly closer, almost crouching in the wet grass that surrounded the lake. When i reached an unobstructed spot where i was able to get a clear shot i hunkered down. I had the idea of the photo in my head and was hoping that the goose would walk closer to the log that was laying in the water. After about ten minutes it stopped at the perfect spot but looked in the wrong direction. It almost started moving again when something caught its attention. It turned its head and i was able to get the photo i was hoping for.
