Going south

The first Canada geese have started to move south. Every year when I see birds migrating, I feel sadness. It was not long ago that they came here and summer began. The good thing is that they will be back next spring.

All comments are most welcome. I thank you in advance for taking the time. Always greatly appreciated!

This is a very nice capture of the flock, I love to watch the migrating birds, but am always glad to see them come back, a wonder of mother nature. Tigs♥ =^..^=

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

If they keep going South, they will never make it back to Canada! LOL. Outstanding capture of the geese in flight.

That's a great capture of them, Susanne. I couldn't hold the camera as steady as you did here. Nice to see them up close and in formation.

Susanne - This part of the cycle of the year is difficult as birds migrate, flowers fade, leaves fall and colors fade to gray. But, it offers wonderful photo opportunities like this. Well done! Thad

Love the composition on this one and the formation you caught. The cycle of life! I always hate it when the butterflies leave, too.
