Hope they don't get lost. I downloaded and flipped the photo. JK Very nice shot at geese. Did you have proper license, or do you need one in your part of the world? Like the closeup and also the framing you did to present this photo. Very good Cornelius.
they're off..........and all was quiet again! ...where I work there is a large lake and the Canada Geese have gone again, all apart from one lonely goose who has a broken wing! so sad! ...but it will be watched carefully as there is a bird association! ..but I I can't help but worry for it!
This is a lovely capture - very hard to capture birds in flight - you did a very good job Cornelius!

Reply to Owd Bob: think I have to do what Ron (Tick) already did: flip this image now, as they will change their heading to the left then (= flying back), lol.. Regards, Cornelius
Wow, that's up close! I hear them honking and can never get my camera out and focused fast enough to capture them, but you have done a wonderful job of it!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

this reminds me of the hilda ogdens flying geese in coronation street (for all those brits out there), a fine shot cornelius and it gave me a smile, you did well to capture this, im not very good at flying birds myself! lol
Sweet, but I have a question for you...why are the called Canadian Geese when they have no Canada to fly to on your side of the pond, or do they get passports and travel over here?? j/k

PJ, they didn't show me their passports and flying licenses. I'm not quire sure whether they have even paid airport - and custom taxes. It's amazing that they came flying from Canada (?) without any luggage, lol. Regards, Cornelius
