Geese by the Lake and a Road in the Country.


Often I look out my window and see geese. I used a zoom lens to get a close view of them.
 

Yesterday I had an appointment at Woodstock Chiropractic. My back was stiff, although in general it aches less than it used to. 

After my appointment I took a ride in the western part of Shenandoah County. There are hills and scenic farms out there so I took some pictures. 

Saturday's Critters / I'd Rather Be Birdin'
   
There's something peaceful about sheep. They browse around eating all day. 

A huge flock of birds circled around and landed in a tree. I wasn't close to them but they flew like starlings.




I drove out Polk Road and turned around in a farm lane. I passed some cattle with tags in their ears. This one was staring at me.

    So you see that you can also encounter beautiful nature with every walk and I thought your photography was very beautiful again. The two geese look at each other in love. and the lonely tree I also found very beautiful. Wish you beautiful and pleasant days. Here everything is closed in the Netherlands except the food shops and unfortunately I can not go to the physio, which I did also for my back. Now I only take a massage bath which helps moderately. lg, tine

    Beautiful - that's some kind of mixture of geese, the first guy. Sheep are so silly.

    Very nice set of pictures - I think it shows you should always take a camera with you - even to medical appointments!

    Hope all is well.

    Cheers - Stewart M - Melbourne
