Snow Geese at Middle Creek | March 28, 2010 |
|
The snow goose staging point at Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area, Pennsylvania, is over, with most of the geese on their way north. I'd like to share two of my favorite photos from the past two years.
Here's a snow goose in exquisite landing style.

The following (from 2009) is somewhat atypical. Normally a photo subject obscured in one way or another is a throwaway. Here, however, it suggests a mood to me, as in the mysterious ways of snow geese and their migration. I enjoy the photo, and hope you will too.

Talking about favorites, Sue's is the photo I call incoming.
Photo note: I used a Pentax K20D, with the SMC 1000mm reflex lens, for these photos, taken on 7 March 2010 and 25 February 2009, respectively . |
