Gang Violence In The Neighborhood

I was fortunate enough to be in the front of my housing development to witness open hostilities between rival factions.  The two groups were sizing each other up, then, in the blink of an eye, the violence escalated into an all out war over local turf. I was also lucky enough to have my trusty camera with me to document the whole ugly mess. I just thought I would share!

Oooops! Did I say gang violence? What I meant to say was Gaggle Violence. It’s very unbecoming! And this Canada Goose, in particular, is quite fiesty and fresh. Have you ever seen a tongue that long?


 

In Order to post this photo in my blog, I had to crop it and make it very small.  For full appreciation, check out my gallery at  http://artellacafe.com/photos/julies_joy/default.aspx and you can see the details in this photo.

I submitted this photo to JPG Magazine under the theme of "Fresh" for consideration in their upcoming issue. I could use your help!  Go to   http://jpgmag.com/photos/571015 and vote for my photo by clicking the green "Yeah! It Rocks" button!  Voting is open until April 08, 2008.

HELP! HELP! HELP!  VOTE FOR MY PHOTO!

        Hugs,   Julie

I'll have to go check it out and vote! I saw some Gaggle violence myself tonight at the river. You know its spring when the geese start driving away the odd one out!  3's a crowd during mating season!

Julie, I saw your post heading and you scared me, I had to go quickly see what you were posting. I am relieved to see it was gaggle not gangs. I was worried for you and where do you live.

I like your new look, I especially like your side bars here with the beautiful florescent flowers glowing. Very Nice!
