Fluffy swan

He (she?) was showing off again...

I feel like less of a swan stalker now - having ignored them completely for a week or so, I sat down by the lake the other weekend, and they came swimming over to within a few yards of me and posed, preened and generally showed off for about half an hour...

The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another's, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.
