Penguin.jpg

Poor little guy. He came to the Central Park Zoo from Sea World where he was picked on by other penguins. He didn't eat, he was depressed. Now he shares the Central Park Zoo with 63 other penguins, but he stands on the side, with his back turned. The volunteer who told me his story, said that he was making progress. He used to stand all the way on the right corner, now he's moved to the center of the aquarium.
I spent my lunch break at the zoo. click here for more: Central Park Zoo

You'll have to track his progress through the year for us. He does present a very solitary image here.

Poor guy. I hope he finds it in himself to join the group.

It appears almost surreal with the green shades.
Excellent representation of loneliness.
Hopefully he will adjust soon.
