The swan and friends

It was a beautiful day today -- bright sunlight, high wind, and a joyous
feeling in nature. We usually do our work, and then go for a drive
to feed the geese, but today I asked Steven if we could reverse the
order, and head out right away. We even stopped by my older son's house
on the way, just to wave hello with our masks on.
Then we fed the ducks, the geese, and the one swan at our favourite
park. I know I tell you this again and again, but it never gets old for us. And
today the swan was being so careful, because it was unusually warm, and
I was not wearing gloves. He for sure did not want to bite my hand as I
fed him the bread.
What a treat. So tonight it's photos. Nature is a definite help when worry
about the world sets in.
Have a walking in nature day.
gorgeous looking swan 😀
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jennifer Rose,
ReplyDeleteYes he is. I don't know where his mate is. It worries us. He is
part of a couple, so I hope she's okay.
Love your work.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
there was a pair at the Loch, but Im pretty sure someone hurt the female :(
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer Rose,
ReplyDeleteIt is a concern. The swans are not native to Canada. And some people
want to discourage them from mating. We found out a couple of years ago
that park people oil the eggs of swans and geese, so that there won't be
so many of them. This was sad enough information. But there are hardly
any swans so it is not a problem, which makes that a disturbing and ridiculous
practice.
Love your work.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXO Barbara
