Snow geese taking to the air at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in NM; best viewed in the largest size.  I thought this shot has a nice number of geese in the air in reasonable focus.  <br /> <br /> Sounds like everyone had a great St. Patrick's Day!  I went to the doctor to have a place where he removed a small skin cancer checked and then, in the afternoon, there was a fire not too far from our neighborhood.  It was very windy and tinderbox dry here, so everyone was pretty nervous until they got the fire under control.  A barn and grass burned but the forest (ponderosa pines) did not catch fire and they saved the nearby house.  Great work by eight of our local fire departments who responded to the call!<br /> <br /> Thanks for your comments on my shot of the hoarfrost evergreens.  Hope you enjoy your Friday!
