Last evening while walking to the mailbox I heard the honking of Canada geese. Hastily aiming the camera, I took a shot but unfortunately the setting was wrong and the geese ended up blurry. I cropped them out of this first photo:

I quickly changed the setting and tried again, zooming to get this view of the geese who were further away by then:

Hopefully, they are a sign that spring weather will soon be here. The lengthening days just don't fit with the cold temperatures we've been having.

Honk, honk, honk!
I agree. I have been spending a few hours after sunset to shoot Comet Pan-Starrs. Wednesday and Thursday nights were unreal - cold and windy. Last night was much better and I got a nice pic of the comet. Posted it on 42N.
Still cold and snowy here. Brrrr!
If you venture out to photograph the comet here's a few tips. Use a tripod because you will be taking photos that last anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds long. Start with a modest ISO like 400 but you can change to ISO 200 and experiment with the exposure time. Use the S or Shutter command to take the long exposures. And, use a remote trigger if you can otherwise your finger on the shuttle release may jiggle the exposure.
Really neat to come across your blog!
I live on a dairy in North Fla.
I love your pics!

Honk, Honk! So ready for some spring warmth here! We had a few nice days sneak in and then a cold front settled in yesterday and it was only 42 today! Pretty shots!
Honk!! I'm very ready for spring. That ole Phil had it wrong, didn't he? Love your photos!
Great shots of the geese!
