Swan Lake by maggiemae

Swan Lake

From the pleasant memories of an old, historic hotel where luxury was quantified differently in the 20th Century, to the scenes on the way home. The tide was coming in underneath the main road north and water featured in this particular inlet, not seen before when travelling past.
The sole swan swam majestically all on its own. Swim, swam, all over the dam!

Three good things:
1. If you look for something beautiful in your ordinary day, you will find it and those on 365 will recognise it!
2. Our new car, Sadie recognises if we come up too close to a car in front and automatically reduces speed to follow safely! Then when the car in front accelerates, we do too - you just have to steer!
3. Its a good thing I remember what day it is- some people in my immediate vicinity don’t!
A gorgeous capture and edit Maggimae ! fav

Beautiful calm autumn day it looks down your way; you with your black swans swanning and I with the stillness of white.

@snaphappi There appeared to be only one swan in the scene - probably just right for the Ballet - the black one and the white one with you!

Lovely scene with the black swan!! Your car sounds very intelligent!! Does it make you a cup of tea too? LOL!!
May 13th, 2015  
@pamknowler No, but if you are wavering too much over the lane, a picture of a cup of tea comes up on the screen and the words, "Time for a rest"!!

What a beautiful scene. Having traveled through your area very briefly on a one day stop over during a cruise to New Zealand pictures like this one stir the memory. I always take a theme for shore excursions and wildlife was my theme for your neck of the woods.

Great clarity in the swan......love the touches of unusual colour on tail & beak. It looks a beautuful soft autumn day.......the car sounds impressive!! You didn't wish you had a Sport Discovery then?
May 13th, 2015  
@ubobohobo The wildlife is not common either, Margaret so you have to keep an eye out.
May 13th, 2015  
@happypat Sadie is more a sports car than the Discovery and i like this - its got real 'get up and go" We don't need 4 wheel drive now in our sedate and old age, Pat! Ahem!

Dreamy, magical, and a fav. Maggiemae, thank-you for your lovely comment on my "Grass After a Rainy Night" shot, it was greatly appreciated.
May 14th, 2015  
Pretty shot! I like that golden hue on the grasses back there. Had to laugh at #3. If that somebody you have mentioned is hubby, I've been told they are exempt from remembering what day it is. But I'm not sure the source is reliable!
May 14th, 2015  
Oh Maggie, this is really beautiful. Wonderful reflections.
May 14th, 2015  
@olivetreeann Who else, Ann! Ha ha for that comment but probably true!
May 14th, 2015  
Beautiful light
You don't need 4 wheel drive, but you do need get up and go? that's not sedate old age.
May 14th, 2015  
@tigerdreamer It is in the mind, Karen! The actualities of the getting up and going are a bit stiff but the mind is racing!
