White Wings

...a mass of white wings carry a flock of snow geese aloft to their latest destination.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."

Goodness, this is awesome. I've never even seen one snow goose. This must have been a very important convention. ;o)

Terrific capture! The great migration. Outstanding Zen quote; I've stolen for my quote file.

A sight you really need to witness first hand to fully appreciate, I have seen starling roosts numbering many thousands , but nothing of any large birds. Very nice capture.
