concrete?” Gary shook his head. I pointed out to the long cut on his forearm, “You’re bleeding.” “Oh,” he mumbled. He made a quick glance at his arm, but didn’t seem to pay much attention towards it. I studied him all over; he had frosted white hair, sky blue eyes, and wore thin-rimmed glasses.

The Beauty and Justice of Geese Photography “The geese are coming! The geese are coming!” I shout as they fly across the blue sky of Regent’s park. The beautiful and majestic creatures swarm the lake where the park visitors feed them.
