I love watching swans. Sat for awhile watching them yesterday.

The nicest people I know appreciate wildlife. It shows who they really are.
Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

I missed the swans at our local lake - never knew them to drop in before. I do love taking photos of every creature in the snow.

love early mornings, usually up by 4:30
Meanwhile I get texts " come join us at >>>>>>>> they are just going out and I've been in bed for hours!
Swans are beautiful.

I’m an early person, too, Norma. That, and I can’t remember the last time I went out for drinks.
I’d rather sit at the early bird buffet and drinks at home by a fire. Lol. Bed by 9 😂

These were up on the Chilcotin plateau. I saw them at like every open pond on my travels. Here is another swan 🦢 I saw swimming in the Chilanko River.
