From the strip pits, from the yard


We were out at the strip pits late the other evening...I captured a few of the geese.


This is also from the same evening....it was not as dark as this looks...this is just how it turned out...


And this one is from the back yard yesterday afternoon.  We were raking a few leaves.  I always keep an eye on the sky when out in the hopes of seeing something interesting.   Normally it is vultures I see, but there was no mistaking this for a vulture.

    WONDERFUL! I see beautiful and clear birds flying against an orange sky. And CRATERS! This was the largest super moon of the year. And is that a bald eagle? What a gorgeous post!!!

    A wonderful shot of the geese--- We have huge flocks of wintering geese here. They usually fly about 30 feet over the top of the house, complaining all the way!

    What lovely pictures, Rose. The sky on the geese photo is amazing. Now, I'm curious what the strip pits are?
