With a few notable exceptions, most of the photographers I associate with are into "urban" images -- oh you know, street photography and it's ilk. Occasionally I give urban photography a try but I think my heart gravitates more toward nature and landscape photography.

I've always called them "Canadian" Geese, but the other day I found out that they are more properly known as "Canada" Geese.   And that's about all I know about them, except that great numbers of Canada Geese populate the Great Lakes region.

We have a lot of them out here on the west-coast too -- I suppose they might just be visiting this area on their migration, but I can't imagine them needing a better place to spend Winter -- our climate in this area is rather mild.

And of course, this is the lake at Nicasio.   Actually it's a reservoir, and it's level can rise and fall dramatically depending on the season.

I was trying to get a bit "arty" with this (above), but I'll let you be the judge.

West Marin County is largely still involved with agriculture, although many dairies have ceased operation.   Both campuses of the Lucasfilm organization are located near here -- on old dairy farms.

Cattle ranching is more of a "gentleman's sport" in this area -- oh you know, people who made their fortunes on "the other side of the hill" and decided to spend their remaining days acting out episodes reminiscent of Green Acres.
