A great composition and colors! Love those honkers and the ripples in the water. A pretty pond. Lots of textures and depth here. Like this one!

A good composition of this beautiful scene with the Geese swimming along Jimbob. I didn't know they had a rehab center for Geese! but i guess they need one the way there always flying into jet planes. Thanks for sharing Faved

I am finally off parole with the FPA so I can freely state these are fine looking honkers. I can remember when honkers had a different connotation back in the 60's. Looks like some fall colors going on in the background. Come on spring. Nice shot JimboB.

Very nicely captured Jimbob. They seem to be ready to make a formation. I know these as Canadian Geese.

Ed's comment about the rehab centre for geese made me smile.
See however that they're in good physical condition. Can't say anything about their mental state, lol.
Clear post with wonderful tones Jimbob. Just great.

Here is the ice still remain on our lakes, about 12 inches thick. But if 2 to 3 weeks, I can probably start to photograph geese too. A very good job on this one Jim, good colors and clarity.

Excellent in every way! Rehab must be a success as they are posed perfectly in your perfectly composed scenic beauty. Especially enjoy the soothing brown tones and detailed geese. Saved.

Very relaxing shot JimBob - only four this time. The downed trees in the background make a nice background and great colors also.

Love the honkers Jimbob & that's what I call them. They are beginning to fly a little north, maybe spring is coming, oh please.

Sorry for the delay, been in Las Vegas but I'm back now. Have so many to look at so don't know if I'll be able to catch up. May not comment on all of them.

Another snow storm hit and very high winds & we're still in snowsquall warnings. Will winter ever end up north?
