Taken more than 30 years ago, this was pivotal image for me. I had only been photographing a couple of years and was wandering one late spring day in May at the Morton Arboretum.

I spotted the nesting site of these Canadian Geese through an opening in the brush. I got low to the ground and took several photos.

This photo was used in a local bank's calendar that was the result of a photo contest they had sponsored. It is the one and only time that I've entered a photo contest.

But it gave me a taste of what it felt like to share photography with others and nice to have won something!
