Photograph info: This photograph was taken this morning. We had sunshine and temps in the mid-60s today - lovely pre-spring weather. Hope you were able to get outside and enjoy it. Even a few minutes is restorative!
The birds in formation are Canada geese.
Spring officially begins on Friday, March 20th at 7:44 a.m. EDT.
Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II 
Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

love the way you capture the seasons. :)
Posted by kate on March 18, 2009 11:02 PMIt's about time those geese made their point. Looks like another point is being made about the powerful impact of a singular, momentary vision. Beautiful! (or, on this site, somewhat above average!) Kathleen, you get a "10," the geese get a "7.3."
Posted by david tinnon on March 19, 2009 12:55 AMWhat a peaceful scenery in a wide country. In comparison my bavarian landscape is so crouded, buildings everywhere...
Posted by Markus Spring on March 19, 2009 4:29 AMThe muted grays and browns of winter now retreating.
The sprouts and buds of new life so soon repleting.
The geese on their northward path are winging.
All speak to the new season that upon us will be springing.
I love the picture. I like the way you have captured the foreground but then the image just seems to fade out into the distance towards the mountains.
Posted by Alvis on March 19, 2009 9:18 AMWonderfully captured! Always enjoy your wide open landscapes.

Posted by Michelle on March 20, 2009 12:17 AMI would love to have a chance to shoot some birds flying in this kind of formation! Great shot!
Posted by Commercial and Events on March 20, 2009 1:54 AMSign of Spring? Or Autumn?
Superb capture, with the "V" in skies.. Awesome work
I really like how you captured the light on the rolling hills in the foreground and how that plays against the mountains in the background. Very well done.
Posted by edvatza on March 20, 2009 8:18 PMBeautiful, Kathleen! I love this one.
Posted by Alice on March 21, 2009 7:36 PMNice capture! It's great you manage to be quick enough to get the birds into the frame. Well done!
Posted by Averi on March 22, 2009 12:18 PMGreat scenery, love the colours and this atmosphere ...
Posted by Wolfgang on March 22, 2009 4:24 PMI love all the layers in this image. From the sky to the foreground. The V of geese is a great touch!
Posted by Laurie on March 22, 2009 9:59 PMGREAT shot! How cool is that to capture the image with them flying like that, very nice work :)

Posted by Sofie Dittmann on March 24, 2009 10:19 PMSo peaceful, I love it.
Posted by Gabor Varga on March 25, 2009 4:17 PMMagnificent scenery and the flock of geese is icing on the cake.
Posted by Suzanne on March 26, 2009 2:18 AMLove the wide open spaces and feel in this image.
Posted by Craig Wilson on March 27, 2009 11:38 AMReally simple but really nice. Good touch with the birds.
Posted by Abel on March 27, 2009 10:09 PMGreat capture! The shot even without the birds would be fantastic but then add the flock and becomes great. Just beautiful and inspiring.
