Nothing special here. These are my 5,647th shot of geese

We still have no color but there is no snow on the ground and the low lying lakes and wetlands are ice free. These signs and the sight of our snowbirds returning to nest and mate tell me winter is FINALLY over !

Good to see you've got your water back out there dave....and shot #3 is just out of this world awesome with the ripples the reflections and the colours..

I haven't as many geese shots as you, maybe only 5646!

They do make for good early spring target shooting.

Nice details in these.

Man, these are so clear, sharp and colorful. Great compositions - they could be in a nature magazine, buddy.
