There is no denying it the seasons are changing!
The leaves are beginning to change color and I'm noticing more every day plus the geese are flocking and flying south.To me that is a sure sign of Fall.

The cranes had flocked too and were beginning their journey South. I just love seeing them in flight with their powerful wings gliding on the currents.

The ducks I hadn't seen flying South yet but they were flocking up on the ponds. They leave a little later then the geese.

It seemed it wasn't that long ago that I was watching the mature goslings feeding and swimming around the pond with their parents and now they have matured ready to migrate south.

One thing about geese they are very leery and when I approached the pond the parents called them all together and took them to a safe spot behind the reeds at the other side of the pond.

I'll end this Sublime Sunday post (posted on a Monday) with a creative shot of the firey sun as it was about to set behind the trees. I hope you had a sublime Sunday and took in some of the beauty of nature!

I can't imagine it being fall the first of September. So short a season!
Very productive year for the Canada geese, growth has to be so rapid to prepare for flight soon to warmer pastures.
