Sunset at the Marsh. Couldn't capture any geese, but I caught a truck... Oct. 2010

Confusion reigned as the political leaders argued amoungst themselves as to who had the authority to decide which way the group should depart the highway. While they argued, the rest of the flock found safety, food & a little water, and continued to enjoy their day. As the debate raged on, a large truck was approaching from the west, but the political leaders seemed oblious to the reality of the situation... Sound familar?

My heart soars with them whenever they fly overhead. Canada Geese are my very favourite bird & I always feel a deep emotional connection with them. In the spring, they are the first sound of returning Life & warmth & it is pure joy to hear their cry; in the fall, they are the sad call of farewell as we face the long, cold months of winter without them...
