swans, again

A cygnet from the Abbotsbury Swannery.  This time presented as a postcard, not a stamp

Some royal curves...

We have our own Stratford swans.  Many of these are descendants of of a pair of mute swans gifted by Queen Elizabeth in 1973, but the origins go back to 1918.

Beautiful curves!

Lovely image by Gentleman drawing the eye into the decoy and the pond beyond. The cygnet ignoring it of course.
No swans for me but there are birds here
