"This is the violet hour, the hour of hush and wonder, when the affectations glow and valor is reborn, when the shadows deepen along the edge of the forest and we believe that, if we watch carefully, at any moment we may see the unicorn."

Animal Wednesday - Geese on Ice


This is a funny video....not so much for the Geese "skating" on the ice....but for the commentary of the couple recording it.  I especially like the man's calling out in a deep, booming voice - the "names" of the Geese!  Hysterical!

HAW to all!

Love,

♥ Robin ♥

    Are there no female geese?? The feeding of bread to the geese reminds me of the time on Cape Cod when Aaron and I were doing the same near our house and a man came out an lambasted us good. Feeding encourages the geese to return to the pond and then they defecated in the pond and cause something or other to infest the pond. I forget what now.

    I wrote a short short story around the incident, fictional. It was published in an obscure literary magazine. who reads those??

    Then one day Aaron said I'd gotten a phone call from a man in San Francisco! I returned the call and this man had read my story in the obscure magazine and wanted to republish it in one or more sunday magazines in newspapers. He acted as an agent for this. I think only one suppliment published it. He paid me too. Of course literary magazines rarely pay you for stories so that was fun.

    George ... sounds like a decent solid name for a goose don-cha think? For some reason Canadian geese are considered a pest in England. But I like them, I like the way they honk rather than the more genteel quacking of ducks.

    Robin, thanks so much for the really lovely comments on my blog lately. Your encouuragement has been just stupendous. I really do appreciate that you take the time to read and comment so lovingly. Means a lot to me.

    Only 2 weeks until The Magic Flute!!! I have decided to make it more of an occasion by dressing up. I almost never dress up as I am not a girlie girl ... or at least not usually. Lucky for me my sister is so I shall raid her wardrobe and do my mother proud.

    Thanks again Robin, now if KJ is right then this little heart thing should appear ... &hearts <-- there ... hmmm not sure it works until I press "Post Comment" so I'll trust to luck (and that I remembered right! Love and hugs xx Jos
