Drifting on Still Water~

May23


“But now they drift on the still water,
Mysterious, beautiful,” WB Yeats

Swans swim,

in synchronized,


silhouettes.


Mama delicately rolls her precious eggs,


to keep them evenly warm,

and plucks her feathers to tuck them in.

Black swan,

slides in singular grace,


while Narcissus is bewitched by his own reflection.
Cheers to you from European swans in springtime~

  22. Okay, I couldn’t remember whether I’d left a comment. Scrolling through your comments is a treasure chest that’s filled with golden coins. I gave up looking for the one with my head on it.
    OMG! What grace and beauty you’ve captured. The forms, the eggs…. oh I adore the eggs!
    If I was as gorgeous as Narcissus, I’d be looking at my reflection as well. Right now, I’m into the vaseline on the lens! 😀 😀

  24. Wild fowl (only slightly miffed really)
    Seeks similar for walks in the park, days on the river and generally swanning about.
    Must have gosh and ch. No chickens.
    Replies as message in a bottle.

  41. I like the way they seem to care about each other. I enjoy when you start a story and create interesting ways to picture the stork families “together time.” 🙂 🙂
