I admire those that can use hand sign language with the deaf. It is amazing to watch then on TV during certain programs. But we all do it. Some with big swinging motions and others with finger wiggles. And we all seem to understand what each movement means. Especially the flipping the finger one. :(

I love hands, and photographing hands. They tell a story. And this child’s do, how those hands were used to create a route home. I love this image, the subject of this post. Thank you for sharing the creativity of hands.
