Fast Food - Day 14 - Theme 99
At my local park there is a Victorian boating lake, and in the middle is a little sheltered island, home to a group of swans, and various types of duck. Paul and I often take a walk with left over bread or seeds, to feed them. We started doing this when our boys were little, the boys grew out of it, but we never did! The minute you appear at the side of the lakes, the swans are gliding over, and if you aren't quick enough with the food, they are out of the lake and surrounding you, and they will eat from your hand, or straight from the bag. And if you don't pay attention to the bread in your hand,a seagull will swoop down and steal it!

The meaning of Pecking Order!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty good shot for the Fairy Tale theme, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous crowd they are!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Great shot. Hope you had enough to feed them all!
ReplyDeleteYeah, what happens when you run out of bread?
ReplyDeleteThey look too beautiful to be nasty.
looks crowded, here we have some holes in the ice where swans gather with ducks and stuff and lots of people get there to feed them, wich they need in wintertime
ReplyDeleteThe soft focus on the cluster of white swans with a couple spotted brown swans looks to inviting.
ReplyDeletethat looks like a never ending pile of swans...I think I would run when they started coming towards me, enough for an army! :) I love this capture, swans are truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a wonderful shot...would love to have some swans closeby to take photos of...such beautiful birds.
