Sheltering From the Snow by jgpittenger

Sheltering From the Snow

This is best viewed large to see the snow flakes. It was such a tender looking moment between the couple of trumpeter swans. My kids and I so loved the trumpeter swan book when they were little that is was a delight to get to see these magnificent birds.
I am home sick with the flu my friend got while we were at the refuge so the best I can do is fillers. I'm bummed because my grandkids are here for the weekend and I don't want to expose them especially since their parents are in Italy for the next 10 days and it would be such a bummer if they got sick without mom and dad around. They are having a great time with their grandpa but my lower lip is sticking out big time!
Lovely Jane! Hope you're feeling better very soon.
