More geese

Gray, chilly and damp yesterday, but the geese kept flying over all day long!



 Wonder if they know if it's going to be a bad Winter????



Usually by the time I hear them, find my trusty camera and go outside they are long gone.
 Got lucky this time!

  1. Canadians - going south. When do you usually get your first serious snow in New Jersey?
