I remember seeing swans in Kensington Gardens more than 25 years ago. They were beautiful. But since I know to give geese a wide berth, I figured it was safest to do the same with swans. Pretty they may be, but I'm guessing they can be a bit snappish, too.sister AEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17253107622268200803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-39425865920892850652007-12-13T11:32:00.000-05:002007-12-13T11:32:00.000-05:00my mate is out for an afternoon ofshopping ... for...my mate is out for an afternoon of<BR/>shopping ... for the last 6 years ;-)<BR/><BR/>Beautiful poem!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09504992439212714138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22793574.post-78068207091920170092007-12-13T11:29:00.000-05:002007-12-13T11:29:00.000-05:00A lovely meditation on a lovely bird.
