Unlike our native swans, black swans breed in winter in the UK. These cygnets, enjoying a swim under mother's watchful eye, were just four weeks old. Slimbridge, 26th January '05.
But words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think and smile.
Art is everywhere, except it has to pass through a creative mind.
I'm really into goth rock and new wave. My favorite band is The Birthday Massacre. The guy in my avatar is, in fact, a guy. His name is Mana from the band Malice Mizer.
Hi Si, you did such a great job in the capture of these precious little creatures, that I think I can reach out and pet them!! I love it! Sincerely, Marilyn
Thanks again - these are captive birds at the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust reserve at Slimbridge, so it's easy to get nice and close by bribing them with food ;-)
I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
