crease of blue cracks through
predominantly grey skies
ice still holds its grip
crescendo of honks
washes across entire flock
silencing all else
thousands of wings beat
snow geese erupt into flight
heart palpitations
Out of My Write Mind 
I love the subtle colors in these photos, and I can imagine the all encompassing sound of the honking snow geese. A powerful expression of nature!

The lake was pretty much deserted except for my husband and I….and thousands of geese. When they lifted in unison from the ice, I almost felt they would take me up with them!

That is an apt word…it was truly magical. We listened and watched the geese for some time. They stretched across the lake for what seemed a mile. I’m not equipped with a proper wide angle lens to do them true justice.

Gorgeous Sandy! I would really love to see and shoot the flicks of snow geese. I could almost hear them honking in your post 😊

The noise was incredible. Guess I need to learn to shoot video.(Ha!) And I could use one of those mammoth zoom lenses, too….while I’m dreaming!

It was special, Xenia. We are fortunate to live in the Central Flyway, where a number of migratory birds pass through.
