Canada Geese are generally considered pests here in the Pacific Northwest, so much so landowner have gotten federal agencies to come in and destroy flocks of them, but I find them remarkably beautiful.

and this shot reminded of the kind of formal portrait you’d find hung on the walls in British castles.

I couldn’t decide which shot I liked best, so I opted to let you decide for yourself.
