'Gray goose and gander, Waft Your Wings Together - Victorian nursery rhyme illustration

A medieval princess and her ladies-in-waiting wish to cross the river, together with her luggage. Their pageboy summons a pair of passing geese and instructs them to use their wings to create a safe seat to transport the princess, while a sour-looking dog standing on the riverbank ponders on whether he will be expected to carry the remaining ladies and the page, as well as the luggage.
?Gray goose and gander - Waft your wings together - And carry the good king's daughter - Over the one-strand river.?

Sunrise clouds over Wild Goose Island and St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana, USA

Saint Mary Lake is the second-largest lake in Glacier National Park, in the U.S. state of Montana. Located on the east side of the park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road parallels the lake along its north shore. At an altitude of 4, 484 feet (1, 367 m), Saint Mary Lake's waters are colder and lie almost 1, 500 feet (460 m) higher in altitude than Lake McDonald, the largest lake in the park, which is located on the west side of the Continental Divide. Here, the great plains end and the Rocky Mountains begin in an abrupt 5, 000-foot (1, 500 m) altitude change, with Little Chief Mountain posing a formidable southern flank above the west end of the lake
