Ces Adorio said...: Very lovely swan face. Her tutu looks like a Boston or red leaf lettuce. Crunch Crunch! You have to tell us where these birds are located. Surely they are not in your backyard?; Monday, March 03, 2008

Anonymous said...: Ces, all these birds are located in Sydney Australia. My backyard stretches beyond the fence line through Sydney City. It's like that in Australia :) There are Black Swans who visit two blocks away from where I live. Please don't bite the swan! ;)

Try flapping your arms very slowly Debra kay ... see you can be graceful!; Monday, March 03, 2008

There was a song like that or something similar, once! :-D

Graceful and artistic.

Is it Monday there already Anon?; Monday, March 03, 2008

My pleasure Red Mojo, the swans did all the work and don't even look tired :); Monday, March 03, 2008

Melissa said...: How lovely! That last picture is incredible -- it really looks like flounces and not feathers!; Monday, March 03, 2008
Gledwood said...: Wow! We only get white swans in this country. I think the main (nonmigratory) swan is called the Mute Swan... so-called because at death it "unlocks its throat"... and sings the most amazing tune...

there are also migrating swans but i cannot for the life of me recall what those are called... we certainly do not get dark swans... apart from the VERY occasional black swan which is God's way of making something special... a kind of reverse-albino... ie an ordinary mute swan but black... I don't know that I've EVER seen one of these 1st hand wild but definitely have on TV/photos... they are wondrously beautiful; Tuesday, March 04, 2008
Anonymous said...: I want to be able to flounce in a skirt like that Melissa!!!

WOW have you heard a dying Mute Swan Gledwood? I thought they were called Mutes because never said anything but only guessing. The Black Swans sound like musical bugles and sometimes give softer crooning sounds. Wonder if we get the odd "God's way of making something special" white swan here ... I've never seen one of those in Australia!

I also miss Lavender and hope she's well, Onedia :) A squirrel circus!!! Hhhehheeee; Tuesday, March 04, 2008
