Not a care in the world - The swans have no enemies and can sleep when they like. Great shot, Steve.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Is that really how they sleep? Must be the way they keel their bills warm, huh? Very nice shot, Steve.

Hope if it freezes they don't oversleep Caruso. I saw this and it made me think of your swans. Good post and I like the way they tuck their heads under their wings. Maybe we will have to change the saying about "Sticking your head in the sand."

Worn out from all their posing for your other pictures I am thinking. You capture their beauty so well U Steve.

If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape a hundred days of sorrow.
