In The Philly area temperatures rose back into the upper 50’s for the second Saturday in a row, so I decided to head back out to the Palmyra Nature Cover with my camera. Rather than heading back out along the Cove Trail, I decided to walk some of the interior trails which run through the park. I don’t often walk these paths in the Winter, and it was a bit odd to be strolling through them without the undergrowth of the forest obscuring my view. It made for some interesting photography opportunities, including a moment when I walked into a group of six deer grazing near the path. In fact, on younger deer was on the path right in front of me ¹.

My favorite photo from my afternoon walk, however, was taken after I was heading back to my car. A mated pair of Canadian Geese launched into the air and began to fly toward the river, right over my head! I switched my camera to burst mode and began to trigger the shutter, hoping I’d get some decent shots. And I did!

The photo below is cropped a bit so I could isolate the birds in flight, but I love how it turned out. It makes me want to fly.
