swan on the Ashton Canal, liked the cut of its jib. In the UK all swans belong to the Queen. Grrr. They seem such graceful creatures, but apparently got vicious tempers, snap a man's leg clean off with a single look. Or is that break a child's leg with one wing. Or it might have been never pull a gun on a friend. The point I'm trying to make is, don't cross a cross swan. Oh no.

Swans are nature's version of "Mean Girls" Damn snobs.
Their serrated beaks can be worst than teeth. Hope you didn't find that out the hard way, I did when I was a kid. You can even feed them , but when one of them tries to take the bread bag... you'd better give in.
K,
You're right, swans, bastards the lot of them. You know what? The best swan is probably the one being brought out of the oven surrounded by roast potatoes and stuffed with widgeon (whatever widgeons are). Hmmm Hmmmmmm.
Hey D,
My neighbourhood has been harrassed for a number of years now by the local razor swans, strutting and gobbing and generally causing mayhem. A good flogging's what they need, plus a stiff two years national service in the army. Send em to Iraq, make proper swans of them. Oh yes.
Set the cats on them!
You haven't written about those cats in while, Dan, what are they up to?
G,
Harry High Hat is still out there, mooching up and down the alley. He's collected a new friend called Gilbert Cat who has a lisp so instead of meeow he says meeouth. Very odd.
That is a beautiful photo. I love the pink and blue tones, is it Photoshop enhanced?
Lots of swans around here and they can get pretty mean when hungry or when they have ben harrassed by our foreign visitors who don't quite understand why they cannot be caught and stuffed with widgen or several pigeons for that matter. lol
