swan in motion
If you could be a bird, which one would you choose? Do you ever consider this question as you watch a bird soar on currents up high in the air? Would it be an eagle? A bobwhite? A colorful peacock? Or would a swan be on your list?
The swans are out swimming again sharing lake waters their aquatic bird relatives the geese and ducks.
I sat on a park bench tonight and watched a swan glide gracefully across a lake. I thought if I could be any bird the white swan would be at the top of the list. I can understand why they would have a ballet, Swan Lake, inspired by them. They are effortless poetry in motion, snow white feathers against blue waters.
The sunlight cast a reflection of the swan on the water. For Travel theme: Light, I’m sharing a reflection of a swan.

I’d be a swallow – travelling back and forth to the warmer climes. Your gliding swan is pure grace
and there so small, and light…and traveling to nice places 🙂
I guess I’d have to change to be a male if I were a bird. They usually are prettier than the female birds. Look at the peacock vs. the peahen. Or the Cardinal and his lady version. She just isn’t as spectacular. 🙂
🙂 they do get the pretty plumage
Lovely shot. As for picking a bird, I couldn’t, there are too many to choose from. 🙂
thank you, and that’s a nice thing having too many
I keep picturing a hummingbird. Flapping rapidly. So cute. 🙂 but then eagle – regal, majestic. I’d take either, I think. Beautiful swan photo.
thanks, and I like your choices
Tough question. Think i would pick the swan too, or an eagle 😉
Fabulous shot, love the reflection in the inky blue of the water!
ahh, to be able to fly soar above everything it would be nice
The reflection is lovely on the photo…nice shot! There are so many majestic birds I love like egrets and great blue herons, but I also love cardinals and cute little birds like a titmouse or a chickadee…I could never choose…I think it would depend on my mood…
interesting ones with the big egret and heron and small, colorful chickadee and cardinals
Lovely shot c&c. I think I’d chose to be a lark, up at first light and all that..but again, doesn’t everybody love a blue-tit?
and a beautiful song 🙂
