this is a sculpture which is a highlight at the fountain in allen gardens in downtown toronto.
"Leda and the Swan is a story and subject in art from Greek mythology in which the god Zeus, in the form of a swan, seduces, or rapes, Leda." - Wikipedia.org
that zeus guy is something huh? because he's the big kahuna of the greek gods, then who would've prosecuted him for raping good old leda? good thing they don't live in our modern world or a lot of heads are going to roll over this!
in any case, in reading the story, i learned something new today, in that the "male waterfowl, (ducks, geese, and swans) are among the very few birds that have an intromittent organ similar in function to the mammalian penis." interesting, isn't it? oy!
yes, i will leave you with that thought for tonight. tee-hee!
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
