The goose who thinks he'll grow up to be a swan

I had heard about this swan family and their adopted goose for a few months, but arriving at our "book castle" this past week, I saw them behaving as a family, as described. Riding my bike over a bridge yesterday, I stopped to photograph them when a woman told me to hurry -- they're all lined up!

Funny, isn't it, that at the book castle, we have our own version of an "Ugly Goosling" story!
That is superb! Well caught and a lovely picture too - composition is just rightAnd the two adults are even looking the right way. Fav

What a great sight! Love both the parents watching their mixed brood.

Great capture with the cygnets all lined up. So strange that they adopted a goose.

Great shot, Junko! What an odd situation -- maybe they're read the Ugly Duckling and want to emulate the story!

@ruthhill75 -- thanks for the nice comment and the FAV!
@thirtysevenways -- thank you!
@archaeofrog -- a very teacherly observation! And, I have to say I had that moment in which I recalled our bookclub reading on "chance"
@danielwsc and @taffy -- thanks . . . remember that this is at the pond outside the "storybook castle" so we all think about the Ugly Duckling!
