over the trees...

...and through the woods

or is it - over the river... and through the woods? oops - whatever...

the point is that the geese were flying rare today - small groups of them - these in a pack of only 3... and very quietly, too... although they could've been honking and i just didn't hear them over the roar of the wind! for it's been blowing like old man winter is howling his way into the city...

and like the unprepared person i am - i had no hat and very thin gloves... so my ears were freezing - nose was running and my fingers practically numb after managing to snap off a mere few shots... plus the snow was beginning to fall - this on top of still not being well - sigh... but i liked the way this picture turned out in spite of it all. the feeling of loneliness in the gray skies - how you can't even see the mountain range for the cloud cover... and the almost desolate sense of the geese - at least that's how i read it and i'm sticking to it. and even though there's that idea of cold and gray... it makes you want to curl up with a good book - a warm blanket - perhaps hot chocolate and stay in for the night... and that can make for...

a

happy day.....
