"Being born in a duck yard does not matter,
if only you are hatched from a swan's egg."

Through this fence we see-
Mr and Mrs Swan
and ducks,
oh so many ducks.

your mind that can
Hear the music, the thunder of the wings,
Love the wild swan."

May they live a long and happy lifetime together,
right here where we can call on them again and again.

Seems this lovely couple would rather
not have their picture taken with any ducks!

Like out of the days of King Arthur's Court, the swans are!!
Love the composition of the first image with the chain links and the pond for a backdrop.
Yes indeed, Laura in Minnesota. I hope the book will follow all of her days as a young lady.

These shots remind meof the programme'through the keyhole' except your is throught the fence. I love them.
Great fence find! The swans seem protected in the fenced off area. They all look like happy ducks and swans. Enjoy your day!

Swans think they're of a higher social rank than ducks. ;-). Looks like a great place to spend a quiet afternoon.

Wonderful photos indeed!
I could sit all day and look at those swans ~ Thanks for sharing Karen ~
You did a great job getting photos of the gorgeous swans and ducks through that fence.
Looks like a peaceful place behind a sturdy chain length fence.
Gorgeous birds - and I love R. Mac Wheelers goose impersonation too.
Beautiful just beautiful. B
They look pretty happy!
I always love to see swans!
The swans are beautiful! I don't get to see them too often here.
Swans can often be nasty toward ducks and geese!
Lovely Swans. MB
I have had much for swans. What's wrong with me?
The grace and beauty of a swan gliding in the waters can be likened to a beautiful dream. A dream that one wants it to continue indefinitely. The fencing captures the power one has over nature's strength. Wonderful take and great pics Karen!
