Lookout

I push my way toward the cornfield through blustery winds of forty to fifty miles per hour. Snow blowing across my face and hands as honking prominently fills my ears. Geese are flying above my head while others are foraging for food below. I inch my way forward, closer. There, can you see it? A lone goose stands as lookout, a sentry, before me. I pause before bringing the camera to my left eye and purchasing a memory.

This morning I had the good fortune of spotting hundreds of geese in this open field. They were foraging beneath freshly fallen snow for food. I can't remember a time when I've seen so many geese in one place other than possibly the lake. Even then I don't believe there were hundreds. I'm hoping everyone can click the panorama to enlarge the view. It's certainly a sight to take in.

Withdrawal

I'd been experiencing camera withdrawal these past few days as I'd not had the time to take any new pictures. But, yesterday evening a moment presented itself. This turkey vulture was picking at the freshly mowed field adjacent to our house.  I carefully stepped outside, walked up to the barbed fence line and zoomed my camera onto this fine specimen.  Seventeen pictures later he flew away. This was my favorite shot.

Without Pause

The craving for calamari is upon my tongue as we drive to Olive Garden Saturday along Rt. 68. It's winding, double lane roads afford my eyes to purchase a wooden fence line. I notice the trees are changing color, shadows are searching to warm themselves in the sun and a hawk is perched atop the fence near an abandoned house, field.

We're approaching Paris, KY Drive- In whose playing Halloween II and The Inglorious Basterds starting at 8 p.m. I'm frantically searching for a place to pull over so I can take a picture of the hawk I've just seen. The moment passes without pause. The abandoned house and field are closed off with steel gates.
