Southbound Flight
I always associate the sight of flocks of geese overhead with Spring and Autumn, depending on direction of travel.
It is also an accent on the passage of another season, another year and sometimes a timely reminder that one's clock is ticking, beating away in its biological housing, if I could put it that way.
Of course, whether these geese and other migratory birds are leaving home for Winter or going home for Summer is one for the philosophers and naturalists. I like to just speculate, as I think I have mused before on these pages.
Not a great quality image technically (extreme telephoto and a pocket camera), but I thought it was just appropriate for the season.
"Tired of lying in the sunshine...staying home to watch the rain.
And you are young, and life is long, and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find...ten years have got behind you.
No-one told you when to run...
you missed the starting gun."
Time - Pink Floyd (lyric Roger Waters)
