solstice sunset

At four o’clock this afternoon, the sky was on fire.

It had been feeling like Spring all day— soft wet ground (read:  muddy dogs) and air that smelled fresh and new even though we are deep into the third week of December.

Only sorry note was the bray of a lost goose — honking and honking as it sped across the sky all by its lonesome.  The dogs and I stopped at the edge of the river and cheered it on.

“Go goose go!  Hurry hurry hurry!  Catch up!”

Although it disappeared from sight before reaching the tribe, I like to think it found its way back into the fold before darkness fell, a bit breathless, perhaps, but soon tucked into the safety of the flock’s swiftly beating wings.

    Mother nature is so gracious to create such a beautiful setting to welcome father winter.

    P.S. I'd like to think that goose found its tribe too 🙂

    Fabulous photography…as always. I am sure that goose caught up. I am often that one that isn't paying attention when the rest of the flock takes off…and I find my way! Happy Winter…and here's to longer days and shorter nights from here until June!

    i read somewhere recently, as geese has been showing up lots for me recently, that a goose is never left behind by its mate. they mate for life, and the partner will always wait with the downed goose until it has rested enough for flight, or passes from illness or injury (but not to die alone)… so hopefully this is true and your goose's partner had just left as you approached in order to lead the way for the goose 'left behind'. wishes for a magical new year to you. xo
