The birds had hoped for better weather but now they have had enough of icy Ohio and are off to Florida to visit Ed LOL! Nice winter scene Jimbob especially with that blue sky.

Another great addition to the series, Jim. That snow is certainly taking its time disappearing. Nice co-operative geese you have in Ohio- I'm sure the airforce have a name for that kind of formation.

Nice shot again, especially with the geese, nice blue sky and the framing. If these geese are flying north that means I'll see some soon.

Incoming - twelve o'clock!! In a month, this will look so different with the emerging leaves, greening grasses, and clear waterway. Nicely captured. Thad

I love the Geese! I watch them here where we live too. Love how they 'honk' as they fly by! You got yet another wonderful photo of the melting of winter and the arriving of Spring. Nice job for sure. Verena

I have seen a lot of geese heading north as well JimboB. They always honk when I see them. Geese can be very friendly. Too bad they don't have a red neck. Excellent comp on this one.

Jimbob, it won't be much longer for you. We have lost our snow and ice, it is only a little more time for you. Spring is knocking on our doors!
