Watching the Geese Gather

Every morning I travel the highways north across the state line. I am fortunate to live in a beautiful area of rural Maryland. Corn fields and ponds are around every bend in the road.

In the early mornings and the late afternoons, our resident geese migrate or more to the point, commute from their daytime gatherings to the safety of their overnight lodgings.

It's a special treat to hear their calls and to watch them teach their offspring to navigate. When I am outside at sunset and watch the local flock returning for the evening, I am reminded of the wonderful film..."Fly Away Home". I must admit that every time I watch this movie....I cry.
