No Sun for days......the *Mini-Winter* held those of us who live in San Francisco *prisoner*. Today, though, the Sun arrived! Of course, I dashed out, camera in hand, to hike and *breathe* the Sun, take some photos - and share with you! So, come along...
I immediately began looking for the parents and the six Cygnets.....

| One Grey Cygnet |
 |
| One Grey, one White....look at those relaxed feet! |
 |
| Okay...everyone is here! |
 |
| The Swan Flotilla! |
 |
| Concentrating on finding .....LUNCH! |
 |
| Back at Lucas Studios......I fell in love with these lovelies.... |
I know, I know, I should have saved this for Animal Wednesday.....but, I couldn't wait....I had to share!
It's amazing what a little sunshine can do to bring a smile to ones face!
Love,

How did you know I was thinking you should have saved this for Animal Wednesday?? LOL but so glad you didnt. love love love those Swans. :))The feet crack me up.
ReplyDeleteCris....so happy you noticed those feet! I thought they were adorable....
DeleteIt is strange how serene swans look from above the water line. It is quite amazing to see how efficiently their feet and legs propell them though when looking up from below. They have quite some oomph haven't they? How long does it take cignets to turn white do you think? I saw some yesterday and size-wise they were as big as their parents .... bit like those enormous teens that tower over their moms and dads these days I guess hahaha.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are seeing some sunshine Robin. Enjoy! Big hug xx Jos
Jos...you are right! I wish I could have taken a few photos under the water...as Swans are powerful swimmers
DeleteI think most Cygnets take up to a full year to ruen completely white.... as you can see, one of the six is totally grey.....in time though, the white will begin to show through.
Love and.....Strength,

Every day is Animal Wednesday! lovely pics and I agree with Jos - they look so peaceful, like they are just floating around.
