    You capture the most amazing moments! That is definitely a candidate for a caption contest.

    Thank you for the comments. The landing strip does get busy at times.

    why did the goose fly upside down?
    because he wanted to quack up.

    Some 32 years ago, when we were building our home near Milwaukee, on a very foggy Saturday morning, I was on the roof, shingling. I was right at the peak of our 2 story house. I had been hearing the Geese calling all around, but was completely surprised, when out of the fog popped a flock of them just feet from where I stood. I didn't get hit, but the shock just about knocked me off that roof. It felt like I could have reached out and touched one had I been thinking fast enough.
