Wordless Wednesday - Swan
This week's Wordless Wednesday is a swan photographed earlier this year at Langtons in Hornchurch. It's good weather for ducks here today.. a bit more rain and it wil be good for this one too!
Lovely swan - thankfully no geese as they hate me! The last time I was at Langtons there was a huge thunderstorm and the only place to shelter was under the trees :-o
Hi, jams! What a great pic! is that wisteria in the top foreground? Mmmmm... love it. Thanks for visiting my blogs and commenting on my photos. (*Shameless blog-whoring to follow) if you enjoy tattoos, please consider joining my new meme, Tattoo Tuesday Today is the inaugural post!!!
I guess the rain waited for us to leave! We were in Scotland the last two weeks of September with very nice weather. The ducks and swans were hurting. Thanks for the visit. Happy WW! ..

Did they ever replace the black pair at Langtons that got killed my some pea-brained cave men a few years back?

That is just lovely. Swans are so beautiful. That picture has an almost "Oriental" feel to it with the trees and colors.
Great photo for WW! Whenever I see a swan I think about the ugly duckling...

What a beautiful and tranquille picture, just exquisite.
Lovely pic, Shaunie. Swans make great subjects, don't they?
Simply GORGEOUS!!!
File this under "Photos That Make You Gasp." This is beautiful... could be a card!
I enjoy the way the swan's head is slightly tilted. She looks curious and interested in something there.
