Looking back 10 years ago. It’s rare to see trumpeter and mute swans so close together. The trumpeter are the ones with the yellow tags.

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.
…an eclectic collection
More shots from the mall, a trio of swans and trios of artwork at WAAC.
If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out and leave a comment.

Partners can me a number of things. I immediately thought of my husband and all the married couples that we know but partners can also be things that go well together, like wine and cheese, eggs and bacon, Batman and Robin, fork and knife, socks, twins, etc..

I’m always so focused on finding trios for my Thursday Trios Challenge that I had to really search my archives to find ‘twos’.
….feeding bread to birds seems to stem from an old European tradition
When my Dad was still alive I remember he used to save up his stale bread to feed to the ducks and geese down by the lake. I never gave it much thought until I started to read the warnings about feeding waterfowl who live in the wild. Apparently bread is very bad for them because it can prevent birds from getting the nutrients they need to thrive because bread fills them up. Also, moldy, bread can be dangerous to birds and can pose a number of health problems for them. If the chunks of bread are too large, they can actually block the digestive tract. A regular diet of bread products fed to waterfowl can cause serious harm and even be fatal.
I came across a group of people feeding the birds down by the beach. Although I don’t agree with the practice it did give me an opportunity to get some interesting shots.

These squirrels just never give up. They think they can outwit these ‘squirrel proof’ feeders. Sadly (for me and the birds) they often do.

….another late post
All the days seem to run into each other and there are times when I literally forget what day of the week it is. I don’t think it’s an age thing but more of a COVID reality and winter blues combination. I’ve found it difficult to get out of the house to take photos and when I do finally get my coat on it’s already getting dark and the opportunity for taking photos of trios has diminished. Today’s trios are mostly from the archives but the three swans were captured by my camera earlier this week.
If you have trios you’d like to share, copy my link and paste it into your post and I’ll get a pingback. Have fun! Carol
