[Jessica Eby]

It looks so elegant!

I had an Aussie children's book about a black swan when I was little. Actually, it was part of a set-- Bayamul the Black Swan, Jackie the Laughing Kookaburra, Harry the Hairy-Nosed Wombat, and Rufus the Red Kangaroo are the ones I remember most... Thanks for jogging that memory with your beautiful swan photo!

And showing off his beautifully elegant neck at the same time. Lovely shot.
