Sunset with Geese

The other week, after getting back home after the Middle Child's photo shoot, I heard geese honking. I could tell they they were in the sky behind some tall trees in our yard. Even though I couldn't see them, I could tell which direction they were heading, so I aimed at the sky, pointing my camera at a gap between the trees. As the geese flew by, I snapped a couple of pics.




The setting sun was turning the sky a gorgeous color and provided a beautiful backdrop for the silhouette of the geese.

I'm submitting this photo for the "Looking Up" photo challenge over at Shoot-N-Tell. Be sure to head over there and "look up" the other entries to see more interpretations of the theme.

***UPDATE***
My photo won an honorable mention in this photo challenge!

Splash Pad

The other week I took the kids over to our town's new splash pad and was able to capture some fun memories.
