So, there is a nice park in Columbia, Maryland called Centennial Park which has a large lake. So it was a nice September Day. Both geese and human are in the lake enjoying the day.

Well, I am trying to catch up and it’s going to be a feat. But this was during a muggy day in Washington D.C. On the border between the city and Prince George’s County.  It’s really a nice place.
