A small and belated September update for 2024, where I am still, after many years' membership, on 365 Project, also now posting elsewhere but wanting...
Beautiful swan - fav! Also love the music, I'm an aged hippy with rock music tendencies, although I do like many styles of music! Exception is opera - just can't listen to it!
I always think 13th is a lucky day too but then I was born on one! Nice swan - fascinating when they are black. I love many many genres of music though I have moved away from my youth when I was a bass player in a heavy metal band for a while!! My natural niche is far more gentle, melodic and with a penchant for beauty.
@quietpurplehaze I was 15 at the time and the lead singer. Our bass player quit a week before a gig after an argument with the lead guitarist and as I could already play piano and guitar, they decided I ought to be able to wing it on the bass and learn how to play it in less than a week and sing at the same time. Rather like rubbing your head and patting your tummy as the bass often goes in contrary motion to your voice, but I got the hang of it and did the gig! I gained a whole new respect for the talents of Paul McCartney at that point being able to do this so easily! Cowboy boots, spray on jeans and long permed curly hair......oh my.......well it was the end of the 70's! My Smoke on the Water was infamous.......
Like you, I like many styles of music. The one I cannot listen to is modern jazz which sends me up the wall - very quickly!
Bass player in a heavy metal band - tell me more!
Ah yes remember about that film now - did you see it? (not for me...)
Thank you for visits - black swans are always more interesting for me than white ones- perhaps a bit easier to photograph!
Very courageous!
Thanks everybody! There were two of these swans together, rather small, could not capture them both!
