Two days after I photographed the Cygnets, I learned they had *mysteriously disappeared*....both of them. I don't know if they were taken by Raccoons or by *Human Cretins*.. both are possibilities. I worry about Blanche and Blue Boy...because as those of you who care deeply about animals know, they are subject to depression...just like us.
True Harbingers of Spring...against all odds, Blanche and Blue Boy had two Cygnets. (Their *Caretakers* removed/destroyed four eggs and replaced them with fake ones...BUT, Blanche fooled these Cretins and laid two more!)
Enroute to *My* Swans, I encountered the Ecological Lawnmowers again atop the Lyon Street Steps!
Also saw (and finally photographed after YEARS of trying)...a Blue Dragonfly!
Make a Wish....or three!
May is coming along beautifully! I hope it is for all of you too!
Love,

It is wonderful to follow nature though your blog Robin. And of course the blue dragonfly is something special :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting Britt! Yes, *capturing* that Blue Dragonfly was a real triumph!

Lovely photos. how awful they take away the swan's eggs. I hate that.
ReplyDeleteSuki...yes, this was so sad... I fear that the *Caretakers* will do all they can to prevent more Cygnets in the future..

Coming back from exile, not altogether here yet but trying. Thinking of you often, wondering how you are, never visiting any blogs because the memories are at times, still, nearly impossible to bear.
ReplyDeleteBut I am trying and yours and Sandra are the only two blogs I have so far seeing and that I suspect will be it for a while. Slowly perhaps I will meander about the others who once were closer to me and to Beloved, but the memories often get in the way and I desist even before truly trying.
I hope you are doing well, and that a new wonderful job will be waiting for you. And that all that matters to you is coming up with the Spring time just as the beautiful things that surround you down there. Sending you a hug and I hope you know that I think of you often and with much fondness. Take care, my dear.
Dearest Allegra, it was the most wonderful of gifts to find you here. I have been out of touch because I had a serious accident at the end of January... severe burns on my left hand, arm and middle of back... I am healing...but it is rough going... still, I am trying to move forward with Life... I have thought of you often... and have always kept you in my prayers.
DeleteKeep in touch...you have my e-mail.
Love and many, many hugs,
♥ Robin ♥
