#The Snow Goose

[gennsoup]

He painted the loneliness and the smell of the salt-laden cold, the eternity and agelessness of marshes, the wild, living creatures, dawn flights, and frightened things taking to the air, and winged shadows at night hiding from the moon.

Paul Gallico, The Snow Goose

An International Goose Day Feathursday

Today, September 29, is International Goose Day! Apparently International Goose Day is related to Michaelmas, which is also today, and allegedly a day in medieval times on which many people would pay their rent with a goose? Not sure about that one, but that’s the story! There is also a legend that if you eat goose on September 29 you won’t be short on cash for the following year. 

These geese all come from The Snow Goose by American author and sportswriter Paul Gallico with illustrations by British ornithologist, conservationist, and painter Peter Scott, published by Michael Joseph in an edition of 750 copies signed by the author and artist printed on mould-made paper. Paul Gallico is also the author of other titles you may have heard of like The Poseidon Adventure and Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. Sir Peter Scott helped found the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), came up with new ways to camouflage boats during WWII, and hosted a nature program on BBC. He also won an Olympic medal in sailing and was British Gliding Champion in 1963 and did a ton of other things (his Wikipedia page is quite interesting!).

Last of the Wild Places

It is the last of the wild places,drifts at the windy corners,a low, far-reaching expanse. The night was so transparent:mud flats and tidal pools;clumps of bushes made black stains;of human inhabitants there are none. Two black Norway spruces,desolate, utterly lonelywhere the road fell away. Greys and blues and soft greens,fresh furrows in the track.Skies are dark in the long winters –the…

A feisty fox drives a snow goose from her nest, a gambit before an act of egg thievery. A colony of geese migrates to the island in May after wintering in North America.
