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! ..
