Flying Geese

Flying Geese (Chen caerulescens)

in the naturalist rather than the quilting pattern sense. I'm sorry I don't know the name of the mountain range in the background. It's the ones just east of the Bosque.

Also sorry I'm running late tonight and haven't browsed. I've been busy booking hotels for my summer holiday trip. Husband and I will be driving from Chicago via Yellowstone and Grand Tetons to California, where I have my 50-year high school reunion in mid-August. He thought we should book now, as it might be hard finding rooms around Yellowstone later. I'll catch up with you all tomorrow.

How well you've done getting these in flight Ann... against a beautiful background too.

Such lovely nameless mountains;)

I believe he is right about that Doc. I hope you both have a blast at your 50 year reunion. I hope you recognize some of your classmates (lol). Excellent flight picture of these beautiful geese photographed in a fabulous setting. Exceptional!!!!
