Photo Of The Year 2011



I chose this picture for January Theme Day because it is a picture I was hoping to capture for a very long time. The serendipitous moment happened this past November as I was walking my dog in Black's Creek. I heard geese in the distance making their way toward me and had just enough time to turn and focus my camera toward the sky hoping the geese would appear overhead . . . and they did. Happy New Year and happy photo hunting everyone!
