Geese On The Arch Grounds

.
Geese On The Arch Grounds

We get an awful lot of geese through here at some times of the year. It may have something to do with the Mississippi River flyway, followed by several species of migrating birds. There was a crowd of them around the Arch on Saturday, but just the lawn to the south of the monument. I wondered if the groundskeepers had done some seeding. They kept a cautious distance from me but didn't run away. They can be very aggressive and I was glad to avoid a confrontation.

Can bronze sweat? Find out today on Downtown St. Louis 365.

    Making me hungry with this fantastic shadowy shot.

    I believe that around 200 000 couples still tie the knot every year in France. At least that's the number I had in mind...

    Revelation 22:14 "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

    Nice long shadows. The black and white makes this a timeless scene.
