Oxford: Gosling Up Close

More downy detail in large ("L").

The goslings here are too tame: they keep coming too close for my long len's minimum focus distance. SO, today I took my macro lens! Ha.
I was trying to film birds today for my project, so didn't spend that long photographing them, but the macro lens was certainly a good idea; I'll be back to try the same thing on the even more confident ones (the ones that creep up on you when you're not looking...) soon.

I've put up some other fluffy alternatives in case you feel like a fluffy fix (right from this rather surprisingly close view of the father's head).
Highlights:
Muddy gosling (= alternative)

Preening
Settling down to snooze
