Risking life and limb

[donutsweeper]

Just to get the perfect photo.
 

Okay, not really.  But Mama Goose was REALLY unhappy I tried to get close to her goslings and ran up to hiss and spit and try to bite me to keep me away.



This is probably closer to "spring" than "summer" (as requested by smithy161) but I tried.

1. AWW baby geese. And yeah, that is risking life and limb! Or at least fingers and toes.

2. Best. Icon. Ever. Can I be the conductor on the crazy train? Please?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Sure!

The icon came about after I got quoted at metaquotes (http://community.livejournal.com/metaquotes/6734744.html) over what I thought my little Ianto-in-chains drabble implied about me.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Aw, you got metaquoted--that's so cool! 'Tis an excellent icon.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

embarrasingly, it is the second or third time.

I ♥ it. It's snaggable (credit rawtoast) Another made-for-me icon. I'm almost out of icon space!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

Don't be embarrassed! You're, like, internet famous!

I adore the icon, but I think I'm going to leave that one to you. I just want to be the conductor. Tickets please! *g*

I bet mad_jaks or someone with art talent could switch it for you to say conductor.

My first metaquote was the lovely and embarrassing "You can never go wrong inserting Barrowman into things"

[http://users.livejournal.com/_medley_/]

BWHAHAHA that's fantastic. And that's OK about the icon--I wouldn't want to change somebody's without their permission, and I'm about out of icon slots anyway. I'll just be the Honorary Conductor.

It was meant to be perfectly innocent when I posted it (http://donutsweeper.livejournal.com/62753.html?thread=1831457#t1831457)...

You'll make an excellent conductor

And I still have the wallpaper spawned from that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*blushes* I have it saved as a picture, but never used it as wallpaper

BABY GEEEESE. So cute! But yeah, geese can be seriously agressive. You're brave! Glad you made it away with all your fingers and flesh. :)

Where did you take this, somewhere near where you live?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Yep- it's at the "Woodlake Nature Center (http://www.exploreminnesota.com/listing.aspx?EntityID=8872)" which is about 5 min away

We appreciate your risking life and limb for us, and for the cute! So cute!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thank you! As if your icon. Bunnies! :)

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

Awh, SO cute! And very brave of you *nods*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Very brave! Mama Goose was a meanie! Glad you liked it!

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was quite brave of you, and the picture is totally worth it!

We like the crazy train - it's the best ride around!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

And, like all good trips to the inside side of life, this one has donuts!

Momma looks like she means business, there.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I clicked the picture about 30 seconds before she stormed through that huddle of goslings and tried to bit me. Woman on a mission. *nods*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Those beaks hurt, too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've never actually been bit by a goose before. Swan yes. Swan's are vicious and mean creatures. Their bites can break skin.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

The last time I got bit by a goose was actually last year. Yeah, I don't learn.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

What happened?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I tried to feed Frank, the goose that lived in the pond by my old apartment complex. My hand apparently tasted better to him.
