Two Canada geese walking through the snow along a steep, sandy riverbank.
Two Canada geese standing on a sandy patch on a riverbank. There is no open water and the frozen surface extends to the horizon behind them. One goose is looking out over the river, the other has its head and neck tucked.
“'Come back early’, you said. ’The river will be beautiful’, you said.”
