I went swimming today, just to get rid of the rustiness. It has probably been thirty years since I actively swam, as opposed to just playing a little in the water, or teaching my student.
Probably I should go every day to get...

With the last bits of summer around and fall around the corner, I thought it was time to talk again about feeding waterfowl bread. The temptation when you're talking a walk around a pond is to feed the ducks, geese and swans from...

I've just been shopping down town for the first time since Christmas!
I saw 4 swans while walking round Stowe Pool. 3 of them were white but one still had its brown cignet feathers although it was nearly as big as the other 3....

There are no cages or enclosures in the countryside in India for swans and geese. They venture in the open in the grasses. Whenever they like they swim in the ponds and lakes. During the lunch and dinner they are fed well. That...

When I walked out of the bank, I looked across the street to the park, where the senior center is and also a man-made lake.
I was pleased to see a couple of swans, which I see there now and again, but never have my camera.
So,...

Before we got in the gate, we could hear that sound. I told hubby it either was an elephant (this zoo does not have elephants) or the trumpeter swans.
It is mating season and they are very vocal in their speech. There was also a...

It is time for me to get some sleep since I have to be up at 7 A.M. I hope you all will have a great night, or if it is already day time, I hope you have a great day!
I wanted to share another art design that I have created...

I showed a photo of this swan a few days ago - it was saying a few rude words to our dog! But I really like this photo taken just before, with the sunlight catching its plumage and the water surface in this way.

Okami decided to have a conversation with a swan, and this was the swan's contribution to the chat!
It doesn't pay to get too confrontational with swans, so we left the scene very soon afterwards!

Not Way Down Upon the Swanee River -
Back a time ago, when I was stationed in Occupied Germany, a friend and I went for a ride out in the German countryside. Mostly, World War II being over for several years already, the place...

The AFL grand final concluded with the Western Bulldogs beating the Sydney Swans. The Bulldogs were brave being such a young side and not winning a Premiership for over 50 years. The Swans were the favourites but the young brave...

I'll bet you can't answer this question. Swans are generally considered as romantic birds. You've probably seen pictures of two swans with their necks forming a heart. They are beautiful birds. And big birds. They glide smoothly...

A little while back I saw swan parents with their brood of six, little, cygnets. As I didn't note this fact in my journal I have no idea how long ago it was. I don't think I've seen that many youngsters, in one family, before.
I...

As part of the morning walk, I went along to 'Little Britain' lake for a sit and watch. As it was a fairly bright morning, I thought there would be a fair amount of birds floating about, but it was rather quiet, and there were...

On Sunday, before coming back, my cousin decided to take me to the beach.
My aunt Luisa, my Cousin Juanita and I had gone to the beach before so I knew it wasn´t so far. But my cousin Carlos decided that, as he was the only male...

Every fall we breathe a sigh of relief when our baby swans all make it to adulthood. There's a huge snapping turtle (that we think is 50 or 60 years old) that lives in the same pond that loves to snap them up. That we can live...
