Description Part patience, part luck, I had been sitting a couple metres away from some feeding teals, waiting for that perfect moment for quite some time. Then a goose swam over and chased them away. Reflexes took over and made up for lack of a telephoto

Photographed at Burnaby Lake.

Also taken that day:

The link leads to a photo of an Eastern L-1011, the last aircraft type my father flew.

Wing colors remind me of Eastern Air Lines' official colors: Caribbean Blue over Bahama Blue. My father had a 32-year pilot career with the late, great Eastern.
