You Might Not See It Coming (Or Going)
A coyote runs past in a frosty meadow, obscured in heavy fog, with a cackling goose in its mouth.
Good Morning
The last day of the year got off to a cold but sunny start. I stopped at Rest Lake when I came across this great blue heron sitting beside the frozen channel and then sat listening to the cackling geese and tundra swans in the lake behind it. I couldn’t resist a self-portrait when the rising sun created a perfect shadow of my little Crosstrek on the bank.
The Sun Rises
Cackling geese fly at sunrise above Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge. I deliberately set the exposure to leave the scene dark, this is not at all what it looked like to the naked eye.
V Formation
A flock of cackling geese flies in the familiar V formation as the sun is about to rise above the hill that overlooks the refuge, while fog settles in down near the river.
