Foggy mid-week morning, and still

The early Wednesday morning fog pulled me from the house in search of quiet Loudoun scenes. These two continually honking Canadian Geese did not favor my visit. Everything else was quite still. Taken near Snickersville Turnpike.






















While shooting at another location yesterday, this crazed beast from heck comes tearing around the pond at me. The newish Black Lab could hardly stay in it's own fur as it bounced around seeking nothing but fun. After realizing I was not fun (the camera you know), it tore around the pond and ripped a hearty branch from a tree. I was just leaving as the hapless canine returned with his treasure.

Winter stroll in the pasture

Western Loudoun received five inches of snow this morning, which doesn't seem to bother the animals. These neighbors go about their business as if neither existed. They sure do have a pretty back yard.

Tranquil Pond with Geese

This secluded pond runs along a gentle rise in the earth on Williams Gap Road. The quiet spot is home to an wide array of wildlife including Canadian Geese, deer, hawks and small rodents. The only noise that could be heard was the slight motion of the passing geese and light droplets of rain hitting the mirrored pond. Heaven!
