Some say that geese cannot fly.

Here's evidence that geese can indeed fly and fly very high too.

Let me tell you what I have to share today. First up are the Egyptian Geese, also three Pied Crows (5 shots), and then I will show you how a strong wind destroys a lovely cloud (5 shots).
We were on one of our regular visits to a place where I go to get the Peregrine Falcon that sits in the high tree on the property. But this day there was no Peregrine, and instead I had to settle to take shots of some other views.

Thankfully, it is a large property and there is always something to be seen, as I rarely come away with an empty camera. That's when the geese appeared to keep my camera happy, and also some views to show me the power of nature. Although I also have shots of other birds in flight that I took on the day, I decided to rather split the post into two unrelated subjects, in order to avoid boredom.
So, come and see.

Here is another view of that tree, and you can see that it towers above the other trees below it.

Oh! Did you know that geese can also sit in high trees?

Then that goose in the tree came over my head, and I hoped that it would not bless me with some poop on my head. Lol.

And then there was this shot of a Pied crow family on the way somewhere.

Now a change in the subject, as I saw a cloud being destroyed by the wind.

I stood watching it fall apart in the strong south-eastern wind. I knew what was going to happen, and that's why I waited to see if I was right. Not every day that one sees this cloud shape, and to me it was beautiful, especially above the mountains.

Just see how lovely that cloud shape is. A jumping kangaroo perhaps? No, we don't have kangaroos here.

Ever so slowly, the cloud started leaning further over to the left-hand side.

And gradually it started to topple over.

And then it was smashed by the wind, as you can see.

Nothing left, de nada, zilch, but at least there were some traces of the cloud left in the sky.

Nothing is boring when one is outdoors, as there is always something taking place. We don't like crowds or noise, and I have told you before that I regard nature as my psychologist. There is nothing like breathing clean mountain air and standing alone on a hilltop looking around in wonder. So many problems can be solved in the peace of nature, especially as it offers one time for much meditation.

But then again, I also like the action in nature as it is all natural, and most of it is beautiful. Patience is required to really take it all in, especially when something unexpected takes place. I cannot tell you how I appreciate being out in nature, as to sit at the desk all day, or spending time on the screen when life passes you by. Too much to be seen and too little time.
Such is life.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
