  3. Aren't they gorgeous!! We have some on the river, too. So interesting how the babies' color changes as they get older. No ugly ducklings here!!

    And are those parents attentive or what! I've seen them chase a bunch of Canadian geese off the pond - the male is especially ferocious looking - I swear I hear the theme from Jaws when I see him swimming at full throttle!

    Great picture - great haiku!

  5. What a beautiful photo. The water almost looks like a painting. Swans are so majestic, so beautiful and so fiercely protect their young.

    Nature is amazing.

  10. Wow - they're lucky to have so many babies survive to that stage. Our ducklings often don't fare that well, what with raccoons and eagles around.

  11. I love this image and your haiku- maybe because I have been feeling a bit like an overprotective parent lately:-)
