Did you too see it, drifting, all night on the black river? Did you see it in the morning, rising into the silvery air - An armful of white blossoms, A perfect commotion of silk and linen as it leaned into the bondage of its wings; a snowbank, a bank of lilies, Biting the air with its black beak? Did you hear it, fluting and whistling, A shrill dark music - like the rain pelting the trees - like a Knifing down the black ledges? And did you see it, finally, just under the clouds - A white cross Streaming across the sky. The Swan by Mary Oliver.

"Art comes to you proposing frankly to give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass." Walter Pater
I don't use this one word often, but I have to here....OUTSTANDING.!
I especially like the contrast with the water and the swan, and the stillness of the water. It is in my favorites and on my desktop.
Thanks for sharing it.

This is a real beauty and the poetry makes it even better. The coloring is really pretty going from the lighter blue to the darker almost black. Very nicely captured. Thanks. Anita

Be aware that the answers to all you are seeking are within you.
Stunning photography Patti. It is just beautiful how the swan is silouhetted against the dark water making it appear to be a "heavenly " creature. I also like the reflections in the water.

Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unawares

Life ain't always beautiful; but it's a beautiful life!~ Gary Allan song
You captured this in just the right way. The mood of the picture is poetry in itself but what a delight to include the poetry with it.

Life's moments are sweet. I just want to capture all that I can of them.
Very nice shot. That's worth a pint...go have one on me. You can bill me.

The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because generally they are the same people.

HAVE YOU THANKED YOUR CAEDES MODS LATELY?
It is too easy to whine when things go wrong and too hard to thank people for the things they do for you on site: just think about it....GIVE A MOD A HUG or even a GROPE today.....just do it....:)
This is great. I love the almost dreamy Blue tone through the picture.

Most people lye asleep and notice nothing around them. Just wake up and see the natural beauty around you. It will blow you away.
This is one of the best shots of a swan that I have ever seen!Congrats!
