Goose Xing

On my way to Highland Park from Burbank yesterday, racing against rain that never really came, I encountered a new brand of pedestrian. Geese!

I've seen all kinds of wildlife IN the river, but rarely if ever, do I see any critters actually venture up ON to the bike path. Of course, being a photo dork, I had to stop and snap some pics. Little did I know that these jaded little Goose celebs were NOT into any paparazzi action. I received a few hisses, followed by some lunges, which was all I needed to just get back on my bike and be on my way.
I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for offending the the local goose population along the river, and promise that next time I come across any fine feathered friends in my bicycle travels, I'll just ring the damn bell and keep on pedalling.
