I’m a Fan of….Swans

Posted on April 11, 2024 by Mama Cormier

…thank to Jez for hosting I’m a fan of….https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/04/08/lensball-shots-re-imagined-as-ai-artwork-in-my-fan-of-series-4/

On a recent walk I came a cross a beautiful pair of swans. I only noticed one for the longest time until someone told me that there was a coyote eyeing the swan that was sitting on a nest just over to my left. I never did see the coyote, even though I did venture closer to the nest. It was only because the red ants were starting to bite my ankles that I decided to move to drier ground.
