Geese have a natural ability to hold their heads up high. You’ve all seen pictures of Godfrey doing this, but the younger ones are getting good at it too. Diamond, on the left, is getting particularly good at it, whereas Seli still doesn’t have it down to a fine art.
The following photo is of my wonderful, unusual, brilliant friend, Nathalie Collins who, amongst other things, has enhanced my neck-stretching abilities by showing me how to hold my head up high. She herself (not that I am comparing her to a goose!) has a very natural ability to do so which, before I met her, I lacked. You can find Nathalie here and it’s definitely worth a gander (sorry that is a really bad play on words but I couldn’t help myself!)

Nathalie got me into blogging in the first place and set me up with WordPress when I didn’t even really know what blogging was. In fact, I am such a technophobe that I only just discovered that, after all these months, I wasn’t even properly signed up to her own blog (this is quite embarrassing and I hope she will forgive me!)
This is what Nathalie had to say about the picture:
“These “angel wing” crystal earrings were purchased in the USA, but the fashion has since migrated south to Australia. Silver and gold feathers are “in” at the moment and were part of my outfit in the “wear a hat to work day” I recently experienced.
By the way, the hat was an original, Summer White House Press Hat from the Clinton Administration, given to me by a friend who covered the that president during his summer in Martha’s Vinyard. Now matter how the vote went no one else at work had a hat that cool
The hat that won the vote? A straw hat with peacock feathers! I was devastated.
The thing about the earrings is that they remind me of Julie…the bird bit mainly, but also the sparkly bit. In her own way, Julie is as bright and shiny (and cheerful) as the crystals in my earrings.”
Nathalie is my Diamond and I am her Seli. Some friendships are definitely worth feathering….

Hi,
Isn’t it wonderful to have friends that can help out and show you the ropes so to speak, and are there to help you anyway they can. I agree friendships are definitely worth feathering. 😀
She is definitely the best!
Such wonderful earings!
And Diamond looks quite regal.
😀
Diamond is also rather aloof whereas Nathalie is closeby always.
I’m glad you have a good friend who is “just around the corner.” 😉
Love those geese! ~ Lynda
PS: And hey, is that a photo of Frederick Douglass on her bulletin board? Cool!
Dunno! I’ll ask her.
