When I was living in Nebraska about the only thing that made me happy was walking to the tiny town lake (I called it a pond but it was called the city lake) and sitting near the water photographing the birds. This goose came and sat at my feet for over an hour. I did not have any food with me so it was not baited to get this photograph.

The Celts associated the goose with war because of its watchful nature and aggressive temperament. Geese will vigorously defend their territory and warn of any visitors with their loud honking. If you have ever experienced a territorial goose on a farm, you will know they are very effective! There are stories about how geese saved the Romans with their warning cries when the Gauls attacked the citadel of the Capital. I have a goose on land, one swimming in the water, and another flying in the air. Because Geese are equally at home in all three environments, they represent the integration of the physical (land), emotional (water) and spiritual (air) spheres necessary for creation. The main goose is standing on one leg, which represents the goose’s ability to travel between the three spheres. Standing on one foot, in ancient tradition, was a technique for accessing the Otherworld. In Ancient Eqypt and China the goose was considered a messenger between Heaven and Earth. In the foreground grows a blackberry bush. The blackberry is associated with the goose, probably because it is a plant that is protective and also serves as a portal to the Otherworld. I have the canes of the blackberry growing in the shape of an infinity symbol, to represent how the integration of the three spheres is a never ending cycle. The leaves on flowering canes always grow in threes. The number three is a sacred number, which is reflected in the triple nature of the Goose. Geese are never alone. Community is everything to them. Geese mate for life and will never leave their partner behind. If one of a pair is sick or wounded, its mate will stay with it. When migrating, geese work together, flying in a V-formation to help save energy in their travels. In China the goose is a symbol of marriage because of their life-long pair bond.

Waited about 45 minutes to get this shot, wish I’d planned it a little better, composition seems a little linear but I’m still quite fond of it. (taken in Victoria Park, Sydney opposite Broadway Shopping Centre – think the goose lives there, go say hi for me)

This Swallowtail butterfly was a true pest for the 20+ goslings that were running away from it.

Here is my second attempt at applying the orton effect. After much deliberation, and hard work on this image I decided to scrap the whole idea and start over. I used myown methods and reather like the way it turned out!!! I call it the “Julie effect!” Thank you for viewing my work!!! If you like what you see here, have a peek at the rest of my work. Maybe you will find a nice gift here for that special occasion!! Please note that the markup on my work is only 10%. / / Copyright 2009 © Julie Alexander. All Rights Reserved.

Very much an experiment, I’m still very new to this sort of Photoshop work. Two of my own photos – one of the geese and one of the feather. I layered these with some of my own textures, and created the letter G in PS. I have it in mind to create a complete alphabet in this manner, but we’ll see – it’s taken me ages to get this one together!

The same gosling as the last one – out of the 4 new goslings in the goose family, this little guy was the adventurous one. The other 3 would stick close to mom and dad, but this one would stray a little, which made it fairly easy to isolate him for some good behavior shots. I have about 50 shots of him that I liked (check my web site for more in the series), but these last 2 are my favorites. Canada Geese 9which this little guy is) are mostly herbivores, and he’s going to town tearing off bite-sized leaves for breakfast.

I was back out looking for coyotes (and coyote pups) early this morning, and again I saw not a single coyote. But I did run into the goose family again. I saw them a few days ago with only one parents, and still only one parent today (making me a little worried about the fate of that parent). The parents are very protective of the young, making me think that something (accident or predation) has happened to the other adult. This one parent is in overdrive as the only protector. The four goslings look healthy enough despite that. They’re about twice the size they were a week ago, but still very attached to the remaining parent. They’re very active and covering ground much more quickly than they did a week ago.
