Cooley Lake, late winter

Cooley Lake, originally uploaded by Cathy (Kate) Johnson.

I really love this time of year, and having a relationship with a place like Cooley Lake, an old oxbow of the Missouri River. The migrating pelikans were too far away to sketch, but there were hundreds of geese--snows, blues, Canadas--and lots of smaller waterfowl, as well. Beautiful day...
