It's starting - the geese are beginning to flock out of the north, starting their long journey to warmer southern countries.

The picture above I took this morning and was the third flock of Canada Geese I had seen so it confirmed that the migration south had started.
Yesterday I saw two massive flocks of geese piling out of the north. We had a tornado watch on for our area with high winds in the upper atmosphere. I thought this might have been the reason for this great number of Canada geese to start moving. I expect huge flocks with the snow geese but not the Canada geese and not so early. When I saw another flock the next day when it was a lovely day with clear blue skies I knew the migration was on in earnest.

The geese kept coming and coming...

Shortly after that flock of geese had disappeared into the horizon another large flock of geese appeared above the opening in the forest heading south.
Migrating geese is a sure sign of Fall (even if the official fall date isn't until another month).
I noticed with the hot dry weather we have been having a lot of the wild flowers were going past their prime but I still managed to capture a lovely patch of goldenrod and a display in purple of the asters with a fireweed blossom among them.

I love the diversity of wildflowers we have in our area which I have showcased in some of my previous posts. I've been taking photos of the different blooms throughout the seasons to put together into a photo book of the wildflowers around my home in the Boreal Forest of Saskatchewan, Canada.
