Grazing geese at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia

One of the early photo trips I took within the first year of purchasing my first DSLR was to Meadowlark Botanical Gardens in Vienna, Virginia, an absolutely beautiful park. Any time of year you can find something worth photographing, and for most of the year the park is full of blooming flowers.

In this case my brother and I visited the park to attend a photography show in early March, before there would have been much in bloom. But I found this grouping of Canada geese grazing on the grass along the shore of Lake Caroline. It’s a very simple photo. What drew me to the scene was the monochromatic color scheme and the arrangement of the geese into a line.
