Canada Geese Regatta on Trout Lake, mp 294 Blue Ridge Parkway

The Canada Geese stop by Trout Lake on their way north and south.   A few sometimes stay for the summer.  It’s especially fun to hear them talking back and forth right before they rise up off the lake and fly away.  What do you suppose they are saying?  ‘Honey, don’t you think we should be moving on?’  ‘Oh, it’s so pleasant here why don’t we linger a while.’ ‘Ok, ok. I’ll be the lead goose to begin with.’ 

I thought the greens of the trees reflecting on the water set off the browns of the geese nicely.
