- Now here it is, your moment of zen.
- Sound up! Did this video a few weeks back when there were around 30,000 snow geese at a wildlife refuge in NW MO. Here in a few weeks that number will be significantly higher #Birds #NatureLovers #Wildlife #BlueSkyPhotography
- I'm filled with awe and pride, in equal measure, by my ancestors. #ÉirinnGoBrách 🇮🇪
