Talking Pictures

On a morning walk/shoot through Loch Raven Reservoir in Loch Raven, Maryland, I came upon a gaggle of geese. The morning mist was lifting off of the lake and there were fishermen in the water. Fortunately, the geese didn’t need me to be around them, so I turned to head back to the road for some distance shots and waited for the sun to rise a little more. This is the scene that I was blessed to see and I hope everyone who sees it can get the same uplifting feeling that nature is all around us. Photography is still a matter of chance to get that moment in time that no one else could have seen.
