I’m a Fan of….Swans

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.

In Like a Lamb…

out like a lion?

They say that if March begins with beautiful, sunny, and mild weather it will surely go out like a lion. In this climate that usually means cold, wintery weather. Hard to imagine this happening because our winter has been more like a west coast winter with mild temperatures and rain. It would be a cruel gesture on Mother Nature’s part to end the month with a blast of winter.
