As I walked around our smaller meadow, looking for frosty leaves, I heard some geese flying nearby, and looked up while I listened to their wonderful calling. It's such a beautiful sound to hear a flock of geese overhead. This isn't the greatest picture, but it is a special moment for me to capture, smiling with contentment while they flew by. This is one of the joys of living here in the countryside of southern Oregon! :)
