A steamy morning finds a couple of geese cranking down the Neuse River towards some unknown destination. It is not often that you get a top-down look at geese, but some of the banks along the Neuse River Greenway Trail let you look down on the river from a pretty high vantage point.
The rising sun reflects behind a goose down on the Neuse River near Raleigh. This guy (gal) was part of a pair who were standing on this log and honking incessantly to each other. Geese are a pretty regular sight when you are kayaking or canoeing down the Neuse River.
Most people don’t realize how close they are to nature. I came across this sandbar along the Neuse River that was covered with deer prints. The sandbar was literally a stone’s throw from the Neuse River Greenway Trail. People often ask how we get the pictures we do. Be quiet and go slow. Like, ridiculously slow.
Remember when you were a kid daydreaming and doodling pictures of the beach? Remember how the birds all ended up as these “V” shapes? I guess that’s more accurate than it may have seemed. On Falls Lake, near Raleigh.
Can you see it? Those dark eyes caught my attention. On the Neuse River in Raleigh.
Nature’s abstracts. On Falls Lake, in Raleigh.
I watched one of these weave through traffic on I-40 to grab a small mammal in the median the other day. This one is just relaxing along the Neuse River Greenway Trail in Raleigh.
Want updates on what’s happening, changes in the river level, and when used boats go on sale?
