Snow Geese - Sky Watch Friday


This week I went back in time, to my photo archives, and found these Snow Geese flying over St. Jean Port Joli, along the St. Lawrence River in the province of Quebec. I am always a sky watcher when I travel through that region as that location is within one of the main flyways for Snow Geese.

Thanks to Tom Wigley for hosting Sky Watch Friday .

  27. These are tremendous photographs.
    The first is very good, but the second in my opinion has everything a person could want in a photograph.

    Good color and form, outstanding depth, and action that makes one want to see what will happen next.

    Outstanding.

    thanks for the visit,
    Troy
