good morning, lady schwann!

here's the mama swan of the pond, looking rather formal so early in the morning. she doesn't eat a lot of greens and prefers bread. here, she's in a bit of a snit as we only brought some lettuce.

but she still likes me, no doubt, as i asked her to be still for quite a bit so i can take her photograph.

thank you for your kind visits and comments; they are truly appreciated.

You have got the glint in her eye which apparently is so good in photography! Beautiful look at her head and her beak!

Nice portrait. I think Mrs. Swan would approve.

[Jason Daniels]

@amandal - just because I care.

[Simply Amanda]

@bobfoto You told me to feed bread to geese and ducks. Isn't it bad for them, too?

[Jason Daniels]

@amandal - yeah, but they is not swans.

[Simply Amanda]

@bobfoto They are all foul to me:). Swans are so beautiful. Maybe the bread would get stuck in their long skinny necks? Whatever...just giving you a hard time for giving our friend here a hard time...

[Jason Daniels]

@amandal - I do hard time for breakfast.... you're gonna have to go tougher than taht to rustle my feathers. Look, I even spelled that wrong!
