The sun was just coming up when I caught this peaceful scene over Island Lake. The honking of the geese was the only sound on the lake.The geese in formation always reminds me of Mary Oliver's poetry. This is from 'Wild Geese':
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are,
no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese,
harsh and exciting--
over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

Oh, your picture - the colors, the composition, the whole thing, along with the narrative are so peaceful and inviting! What a gorgeous post.
Beautifully done, Noni! Great SWF post!
Cheers, Klaus
lovely shots. Thanks for sharing. Have a great SWF.
such a wonderful picture and post! thank you, Noni.
I love the colors in this photo (and they blend so nicely with your background.) The photo reminds me of simpler times, in a different place, when I would sit outside for hours and just see things like that.
The hoking of geese is a glorious sound. ;-)
Such pretty pastels and love the geese
Noni: I must say I really enjoy your peaceful scene over the lake.
This really IS a great SWF shot!

go towards the light, no I mean the sun.
Lovely and calming. Especially with the poem under it.
Another marvelous SWF post, Noni. I can hear the geese. I can smell and taste the morning as well. It's really the best time of day to be out in nature.
Such a gentle sky, with the geese calling, calling...
gos poem to go with it.
I can hear the geese! It's always a sign that the days are getting colder and frost is in the air! I like your sky!
