Feathers in Hair
World's Tallest Hobbit
I should probably pre-face this by pleading with everyone not to laugh- but I'm not sure if I could keep from doing so, so I won't charge you with such a task.
With the birthday gifts from my dad, stepmom and grandma, I was able to get a digital camera- something that I've been hoping to get for awhile. I went out into the yard this afternoon, delighted that I could finally take some pictures of my goose friend Rocko and his 'tribe' for my RF friends! (For those that don't know, Rocko is a goose that I became buddies with when my family moved to the farmhouse we rent.)
Something that didn't quite register until now is that the geese have, indeed, formed a pack mentality. Instead of the usual good-natured honking that usually accompanies me visiting with the geese, they started to spread out toward me.
I thought nothing of this and continued to sit on the ground, happily aiming the camera at the little flock. Something odd happened, though. One of the female geese stopped hissing at me and headed toward me, beak-first. (It's the one on the right.)
The goose in question began to flap her wings. She was about to fly! I was so excited! My next picture on the camera does not portray this, though.
As near as I can determine, this was when the 'take picture' button got pressed accidently- most likely due to the goose being in the process of hopping on my lap and mildly concussing me with its wing. Thankfully, I don't have a very clear memory of this happening, as those brain cells seem to have been knocked out of my head.
This is mainly to tell everyone that if my posts start changing in nature within the next few days, please PM me to go to the ER, as I might have suffered some brain damamage.
