It was well below freezing when I spotted these geese coming in to land in the open water of this lake.

I first thought this was the new WC, then I realized there were more than 11 geese! But you could use this same photo for this week by doing a tight crop around the triangle of geese---voila! 11 :smile:

by the way...I like this photo for the colors and because the geese are flying in an inverted v formation, not the normal head at the point of the v. :wavey:

Thanks Lucy, I did not realize this was so close to the next WC. Maybe I will submit it for next week. Also, thanks for your comments.

Wow! What a neat sky, John! The bird silhouettes are really cool against such brilliantly colored clouds. The deep colors and true black of the silhouettes works perfectly. Nice contrast overall. Well done!
