I'll Fly Away

On Tuesday night, before it started to get cold and snowy, hundreds of Canada geese landed in the cornfield behind my grandparents' house. No doubt they were carbo-loading before the weather turned.

We chased them, of course. Shae wanted to catch one and keep it for a pet.

I've seen that many geese in flight all at one time before. Of course I've seen them in your standard V-formation, flying south for the winter, but this was a WHOLE LOT of geese, all flying into the air at once. It was awesome and terrifying. Very Alfred Hitchcock-esque, with more fear of giant loads of droppings.

Not that these two cared one whit. They wanted to get as close as they could.
