One of the photos I took yesterday of snow geese flying overhead turned out, so I thought I'd share it with you.
It's tougher than you'd think to get a decent shot! It takes a long time for the camera to focus, and if you zoom in to where you think the geese should be, you can't find them in the viewfinder until they're gone.
We had thousands of geese stopping by on the artesian pond last night. It was too dark to see them, but oh, could we hear them! They made quite a racket. They were gone by this morning -- Dave and Sofi went out early to look for them, but with no luck.
We had thoughts of going to Sand Lake National Wildlife Refuge to see some of the geese stopping by there, but two things stopped us: First, the weather turned icky today -- cold and rainy. Second, we're not even sure we could get there -- the James River is flooding, and the road might be under water.
We no longer have a lakefront home, by the way, though we've still got some muck outside the front door. Dad and Dave's draining project, as well as a couple sunny, breezy days, got rid of the standing water.
