I have always loved the elusive notion of metaphor, and the way it dances and flits from one meaning to another, evading capture.
Okay, back down to ground level….
Unlike Woodroffe (always very grubby), our other Sebastopol goose, Diamond, keeps her multitude of feathers very clean. This is her, wondering if she should venture into a bath already used by Woody, Zaruma and the other members of ‘the gang’. I can definitely understand her reticence!
She’s pretty good at the navel-gazing thing too!
Angelina: How come she never uses us as metaphors? It’s always those filthy geese and ducks!
Brad: Angie, she does use us as metaphors – all the time!
Angelina: Yes but she gives them all the good cabbage and gives us the leftovers. I don’t get that!
Brad: Calm down, Angie – you are my own personal metaphor and always will be.
Angelina: Oh, really? Of what?
Brad: Of beauty, Angie, of beauty. Okay, now which branch do you want tonight – let’s have a snuggle.

I so enjoy your photos! Your blog always gives me a sense of peace.
That is a fantastic compliment because (a) I am not a proper photographer, and (b)I need a bit of my ownn peace!!!
Elegant peacocks. They have no need for metaphors.
True!
Julie, You’re not a Metaphor, you’re the “Real McCoy”

I really like your curly Sebastopol Goose!
Why thank you! Yes, those Sebastopols are unreal!
That Brad is such a smoothie!
He sure is!
Love ducks and geese and your Sebastopol is something special – character and beautiful as well.
Nice blog and as so often is – peoples lives can be both personal and yet interesting and familiar to others as well – we’re all the same really. Keep it going.
Thanks for your generous comment!
