Water Fowel

Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and I figured that campus would be mostly deserted, and no one would get mad at me for parking wherever.  I was right.
It was only around 25 degrees out, so being able to just park wherever was crucial so I didn't have to get my kids out.  I could just hop out and leave my car running.  I had planned to maybe take some pictures of buildings, bell towers, whatever.  But, nothing really spoke to me.  It was a cold day yes, but the snow was dismal and most everything just looked dead and brown.  Not too pretty.  There was however a pond that was filled with geese and two swans.  
So we stopped next to the pond and I got out to chase them.  Which turned out to be unnecessary, I guess they are pretty used to people.  Then let me walk  right up to them, and through them, and beside them.  I don't doubt they wouldn't have cared it I actually touched them either.  But it made it very easy to take a few pictures.  
I'm glad I went up there, I had been wanting to take pictures of the those birds for a little while.  But campus is usually too overrun with students glued to their iphones.  
I hope it snows or frosts soon, I love taking sparkling white pictures in the winter.
