I've been thinking about this picture all day. It's that time of year, the days get a little shorter, and the geese are flying overhead... you hear them before you can actually see them. They form that perfect flying-v -- which I like to think is so they can all keep an eye on one another over the tips of their wings. They follow the same paths, north and south, every year... returning to the same places, time after time.
This picture was taken at the end of a beautiful fall day spent hiking with my mom, at the Pheasant Branch conservancy in Middleton. We saw herons and cranes, and a pond edged with cattails. We walked and walked, we even got a bit lost at one point, but it was a beautiful day to be outdoors.
Autumn in Wisconsin is such a treat. Our days are still warm enough to enjoy, it's perfect weather for football, and I love the crisp clean smell of the air. And the sounds of the geese, flying overhead.
