I ADORE geese, and ever since I first encoutnered them the fall we moved to MN from OK, I've thought of them mystically, there calls a call home not only to each other and the world, but to me. Hokey perhaps, true for sure. <blockquote>Benjamin, I'll let you get back to looking googly eyed at geese. To each their own. It's all good as long as you reach your subjective communion with God without interfering with my ultimate reality.</blockquote> Ha, lovely snarkey comments you have on your photos.

Benjamin,
I’ll let you get back to looking googly eyed at geese. To each their own. It’s all good as long as you reach your subjective communion with God without interfering with my ultimate reality.

Thanks for checking. Your photos are great. I'm trying to decide what they evoke when I look at them. Very strange reaction for me--something akin to melancholy. It must be the light. I'll have to ponder this for awhile. Aiyana <blockquote>Aiyana, My guess it's the lack of sunlight. It is kind of sad going from bright colored flowers to gray skies, gray birds and brown fallen leaves around here. I'm hoping for a little snow to brighten things up a bit and reflect what little sunlight we get into my windows.</blockquote> Well, I’m back in business. Thanks for checking. Your photos are great.

Aiyana,
My guess it’s the lack of sunlight. It is kind of sad going from bright colored flowers to gray skies, gray birds and brown fallen leaves around here. I’m hoping for a little snow to brighten things up a bit and reflect what little sunlight we get into my windows.

Thanks for taking us on your adventure. What a shot of the 2 faced duck. Thats a once in a life time shot. So did you get a turkey or were you not hunting? I have only seen Turkey 2 times. Once in Ripley Wv on the side of the gravel road in a flock. And a single one in Camden. Mo. again on the side of a 2 lane highway. I am really good at spotting deer. But it is near dark so most of my photos are to dark. I counted as many as 127 on one road. In what they call a holler back there. Have a great day ! Grammy <blockquote>Grammy, I wasn't hunting for anything but photo ops. Spotting deer is easy here too. My best count was only 53 but that's still a bit distressing considering they were all on my hay fields. I spot turkeys often, we have a flock of 30 - 40 roaming the area but they won't stand still long enough to turn on the camera. They flee the fields as soon as they spot anyone, even stopping the truck alongside the road is enough for them to make a dash to the woods. Around here a holler is my wife asking me to do chores.</blockquote> Oh how wonderful. Thanks for taking us on your adventure. What a shot of the 2 faced duck. Thats a once in a life time shot.
