Description

Well, this is not an artistic shot, but an image showing that Spring is really there : today, during our Sunday morning walk in Rachecourt (South Belgium) with Charles we saw (and heard !) more than hundred common cranes (Grus grus) in their prenuptial flight to the North ! Really impressive to see the passage of the biggest migrating birds over our country

This is way too beautiful!! Living in Southern California doesn't give me much in the way of seasons, but it is definately becoming Spring every where!!! This is a fantastic shot!!

Beautiful picture ! Spring is in the air,and I feel it! Geeses always fly in a "V" formation as you know,and one side of the formation is always longer than the other ! There's a logical explanation for this, It's because that there is more geeses on one side than the other! :)
