Resident Swans and their Signets

As this can often be a very busy and anxious
time around preparing for Christmas
I just wanted to share
these beautiful 
images
to bring a little peace and tranquility 
to your days as you go about
planning what your Christmas Day
should really be celebrating!

 

 This pair of beautiful black swans

 

obviously felt it was time to introduce


 

their amazing offspring to us up close!


 


 

 They came right up to us and out of the water
with no fear of getting too close!


 

They are so graceful and stately in the water
and look so elegant when paddling in line!
following the direction of
their parents!
 

 I hope these gorgeous creatures signify to us
why there is no need to rush around
seeking those things which, 
in the end, are really unimportant!

May be these images help us reflect upon what really
is important this time of year - such as
serenity, peace, love and sharing friendliness
towards each other!

Happy Festive Season to each and all of you
my friends!

  3. I have never seen a Black Swan. Cool. We have Mute Swans on the St. Joseph River and they are very mean and aggressive. They like to attack fishermen in their boats on the river. It's cool that you could get so close to the Black Ones.
    Merry Christmas

  5. Such a lovely post Suzy!
    Yes, I surely appreciate the thoughts you conveyed here. I do believe this is the first year ever that I have not gone about like a mad chicken! lol

    Those swans are just stunning and simply amazing how they came right up to you- wonderful that they do not fear you!
    In the one picture,sixth one down, those rings in the forefront, is that the opened feathers of one of the swans?

    Thank you for sharing this today,I certainly felt a sense of peace while enjoying my read!
    Merry Christmas to you and your family dear Suzy~
