As I was taking pictures this morning, I heard a pair of geese fly by, and I turned to watch them pass. A moment later, I heard another pair coming, and these two were going to fly almost directly overhead!! I had time to get my camera ready and I got a series of pictures! I decided that it would be fun to put three images together for extra goosey fun! :D They are such wonderful birds, I just adore them and love to hear them honking as they go by!

I was taking a look for signs of tadpoles at our pond when I heard the "Honk-Honk" of approaching geese. It's so nice of them to announce their arrival so I can prepare myself to take pictures! I think waterfowl are the Photographer Training Wheel Birds of Flight! :D These birds flew DIRECTLY overhead and then they turned in a circle to fly over my head again, and then AGAIN! I couldn't believe it!! I walked away from the pond in case they meant to land, but after the third pass they circled back the way they came. This is closest I've gotten to a flying bird before with my camera, and I could have almost filled the frame with one of these beauties!! So fantastic!! *high five to all of my amazing bird photographer buddies*
