Geese Flypast

Lovely sunset over the Waikato this evening. A skein of geese flew up the river while I was taking my photos.
Awesome image - love the geese - I didn't know the collective noun was skein! Fav

@kiwinanna Thank Liana. I didn't know it was a skein either but "flock" didn't sound right so I google'd it. Apparently a skein is geese in flight and a gaggle is when they're on the ground - I learn something every day :-)

Clearly we all do - one of the great advantages of 365 because we also see beautiful images to intrigue and delight us.

The golden tones in both sky and river are so beautiful and also just a hint of green on the far shore! Getting birds in is a definite bonus! fav

Instant fav for the softness and sheer beauty of this. The geese add a wonderful extra touch. I love that expression "a skein of geese", but don't seem to see it used much these days--so thanks for that too!
