City Geese

Yesterday we went Christmas shopping and managed to get almost everyone on our list a gift. That's a feat in and of itself as my husband hates shopping. When we came off the exit into the city the first thing I spied were these geese.  They were flying over the shopping centers. First, one way and then the next. After I snapped a few shots of these beautiful geese. I was fortunate enough to see what I think was a blue heron flying towards the town's pond.

Blue Heron

We were driving west on a back road yesterday when I spotted a blue heron in an open field. It stood perfectly still, unsolicited, with brisk October winds slogging across its back.  The sun a poultice on its wings. It carefully eyed my intrusion upon its playground as I walked closer- camera lens extended.

Then...



It rinsed itself of my presence seeking solace in a copse of trees. Happy Monday~
