A white mute swan in someone's back yard, standing on a green patch of lawn that's been trimmed short by hungry water birds. This patch is separated from the rest of the yard by a black, metal gate. Beyond the gate are trees, bushes. And plants that the waterfowl are not welcome to eat. The yard ends at the canal, which has murky water in it. The swan is looking at the photographer (who—from the angle—must be on the water). The swan's meck and head are tilted and rotated in a classic "Got bread?" query.

Swan say "Got bread?"
But what does the fox say?

I saw this swan along the canal, today. It perked right up when ot saw me boating along, because as far as the swan is concerned, boat=bread.

But not every boat. And as we all know from Psychology 101 […]

Mute swan drinking close up. Water falling like crystals capture the light.

The classic full body swimming mute swan portrait pose swimming left to right in bright contrasty sun. The sky is reflected off the water to make it look bright blue.

One of the pair of mute swans that always pays me a visit whenever I pop over to Sneyd Reservoir taken a couple of weeks back. I think they will spent more time over in the sheltered portion of the lake they nest on over the next couple of months.

A few years before I moved away, I took these photos of a mute swan at Gypsy Hill Park in Staunton, #Virginia. This is a popular local spot established in 1889. 🦢

A white Mute Swan with a black eye mask and yellow beak causing white ripples on the water as it glided across the pond. There are reflections of brown and green trees on the water, and a patch of light brown foliage on the shoreline above. Seen at Stony Brook WS in Norfolk, Massachusetts.

Mute Swans are back on the ponds now that the ice has finally melted! This is one of a pair that were gliding through reflections of trees on the Kingfisher Pond (Norfolk, MA - 3/25/26) 🤩🦢

I wish I could just drift around asleep in the sun like this swan was doing
