We so enjoyed watching them raise cygnets every spring, altho they did not seem to be particularly successful - turtles in that pond, too. One disappeared several years ago, and while the other stayed for many months, it too disappeared. Perhaps they really do mate for life. We still miss seeing them. Somehow Canada Geese just aren't the same. <br /><br />Lovely photos - lovely reminders. thanks.webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-2404001758921090312011-11-03T08:31:28.857-04:002011-11-03T08:31:28.857-04:00They look so lovely and graceful, it's hard to...They look so lovely and graceful, it's hard to imagine there is any controversy over them. What a beautiful park. It's a shame the Litter Mob has so much work to do, but it seems very worthwhile.Denise at Autumn Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00229028926029898680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-26979664164684287492011-11-03T03:37:25.485-04:002011-11-03T03:37:25.485-04:00I used to live three doors away from a park where ...I used to live three doors away from a park where a family of swans resided. My daughter and I would visit them when she was little and it wasn't uncommon for the swans to follow us home in a line - cob at the front, cygnets in the middle and pen bringing up the rear - and they would arrange themselves on the front lawn for a while. The cob would sometimes tap on the door asking for bread and we have a photo of the time he came inside. Quite fearless and very cheeky :)jellinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603107829473043654.post-86006733110847536602011-11-03T01:44:37.379-04:002011-11-03T01:44:37.379-04:00Those are the most stunning pictures!
