I’ve been spending a lot of time in parks with wildlife. This is the first time I’ve managed to be so close to swans to observe them. They are such graceful birds in water as they glide around the lake. This is also the first time I’ve seen them out of water. They are far from graceful on land. I always assumed they would be just as comfortable on land as they are in water. I’m not sharing that video as I would like to imagine them as elegant creatures. 🪿
Here is how I would like to remember them. Graceful and elegant.

So the moral is: elegance depends on context… 😉 All well my dear? Back home now I imagine?

thank you Brian. it was so funny watching them walk on land when suddenly they became clumsy and the opposite of elegant!
