"Sometimes I arrive just when God's ready to have someone click the shutter...."
Ansel Adams
I could not agree more!!!
This was taken yesterday morning during my walk. The timing was amazing to be sure as I reached the top of our road just as the Canadian Geese did their fly-by! Talk about turning on my camera FAST, lol! These cloud formations are known as "Lenticular," but this one sure looked to me like a cloaking device for some of our galactic visitors! It was a stupendously gorgeous morning whatever you think was hovering there for hours in the sparkling, early morning winter light!
PS: For those of you that may have "yeah, right, photo-shopped" cross your mind, this image is completely unedited other than a tiny bit of cropping off the very bottom of the photo!

Thank you Jennie! I was pretty amazed by the timing! You would have laughed to see me trying to turn on my camera and open the LCD that fast, lol!!!

Thank you Shadowlee. I agree...having an open mind is important for how can we ever experience that which we discount out of hand?

Fantastic image, Rory. It looks almost like a spaceship being escorted by the birds. vote

Thank you so much Hazel! I was completely in a state of wonderment when I saw the photo uploaded on the computer as I did not know that I caught it in time! I was looking down to flip open the LCD and only saw the geese as I lifted the camera to take some photos of the cloud and the mountain. I do feel often like some greater force is at work to help us show others the spectacular beauty that surrounds and nurtures us.

One of those magical moments that you were lucky to have your camera at the ready. One day while out in the back garden I heard a commotion like seagulls in the sky & thought no way as I'm about an hour away from the coast - too late it was a flock of snow geese flying overhead & I didn't have my camera ready, what a glorious sight though. Love the color of the sky! F/V

And I love it that you are so generous to say you love MY work on YOUR work !! I know you have paintings too and they are on my memory list to visit...I could get overwhelmed so easily with all this infinite art to see and enjoy !

I see you have some wonderfully atmospheric images...This ethereal UFO/cloud is quite breathtaking. The flying geese add to the wonderful feeling of it all. Magic! v/f
