by the geese

this is the 1st time - i’ve used my phone - to try and capture - geese or any bird - for that matter - in full on flight

as i was heading home - from appointments, i was - passing a pond - i used to frequent back - in the day and decided - to stop but of course - only had my phone - thinking i’d probably just snap - some close ups of a duck - or two i figured - that’d work however - as i got closer - to the water the geese - began to make their - unmistakable cacophony of goose noises - you know the ones - of which i speak - if you’ve ever been - around a flock of geese - as they ready for takeoff - it begins slowly - as they speak to each other - and builds to this crescendo - of ear splitting sound - as they begin to spread - their wings then flap them - like crazy as they are - lifted into the sky - forming one continuous line - of beautiful birds honking around you - there is simply nothing like it at all

to capture a microcosm - of it with my phone - having it come out - fairly decent gives me - great pleasure and hope that i - can strive for perfecting - it in the future and - without doubt has made it...

a

happy day.....
