Lovely photo, so calming, yet cheery. Thank you Bb. xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to OOB_Tigger]

I think the blue skies help 💙

[Pippydo]

My kind of day especially with my dog Pippin though she’d be barking at the swans!!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Pippydo]

Pippin sounds lovley but barking at the swans increases the dogs chance of being attacked ...and the dog would come away worse... don't mean to sound horrible but I have seen the results of a Swan attack on a dog years ago keep your furry ones close and respect the swans space 💜

[Pippydo in reply to Blackbird9]

Totally agree with that and whenever we do riverside walks she’s on the lead, she’s lovely but has her moments…!

I am envious, we have had nothing but rain and grey skies but your photo of the beautiful swans cheers me up no end BB x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

We have had a gutful of the rain ... its been warm rain as temps have been at least 15 ... was a joy to see blue skies 💙

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Yes its been warmish here which I will be grateful for when the energy bills come in. Its been a really mild winter so far only having that one cold spell and at least the water level's will be replenished, bet that hasn't been easy for you with the dog walking even if they do enjoy the wet. Hope our little Stan is doing ok x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

The forest is awash with puddles the size of rivers ... the commission have been digging more verges to drain the water but there are high spots that can be walked on so sometimes its perfectly fine...low spots can be muddy and very slippy ... Stans doing ok I have cut his long group walks back and doing shorter ones with him on his own

I'm looking at buying a dog buggy for him so he can come on the group walks when he's tired I can push him around I'm not sure if he would enjoy it or not ...

I have a key meter so have more of an idea what I'm using.. I have been using candles in the evening when watching TV and heating has been on a few times but nothing major 🥰

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Oh my word sounds like you have had alot of rain too.Sounds like you are keeping up with Stan's needs by shorter walks and a buggy could be a good idea if he takes to it.

Hope you are keeping well x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

It's been crazy weather here ... I have done two walks today first one group of 4 beautiful doggos absolutely chucked it the whole time .. second walk the sun shine blue skies and very warm all day even in the rain 🌧 💙

[Stratos20]

Magnificent pair 🦢 🦢 😊

[Blackbird9 in reply to Stratos20]

Ohhhh errrr Mrs 😂😂😂

[Mooka]

Lovely photo. The swan population doesn’t seem to be suffering from avian flu around here. 🤞

[Blackbird9 in reply to Mooka]

They are in abundance at the moment long may it continue 🥰

[watergazer]

Beautiful and serene. Grey skies in abundance up here though the sun had peeked out and the rain has stopped xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

We have had a lot of warm rain with the high temps it's crazy 🤪

Thank you Blackbird - just what was needed - a beautiful calm scene 🙂❤️❤️xxx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nula2]

Nula thankyou 💜💜

[Nula2 in reply to Blackbird9]

When I'm having a bad day your photos and Dons poems are so beneficial. ❤️. Both should be prescribed on the NHS!!xxx😊

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nula2]

Ahh thats very kind of you to say ... Did my time with the NHS as a scrub nurse in theatre ... 38 years of my life they had ...😂😂

[Nula2 in reply to Blackbird9]

🤣🤣...I bet you could tell a few stories of "behind the scenes in an NHS theatre" xxxx

[Morrison10]

swans lovely, thanks. I’m looking forward to being able to go out for change of view. At moment my garden and bird feeders are being attacked by 3 squirrels, who apart from getting to feeders are chasing each other, and digging holes in flower beds. Jean x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Morrison10]

Squirrels are hilarious but devils in making a mess and stealing food 🤣

[Solily]

So beautiful !! It is the perfect calm!! Thank you xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Solily]

Thankyou lovley 🩵💜

[Lee_Scoresby]

Whenever I have swans nearby, I always get the feeling they're keeping a very close (and sceptical) eye on me!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Lee_Scoresby]

What gives you that idea 🩵

[Lee_Scoresby in reply to Blackbird9]

Something about the single beady eye, checking me out.

[Nicholatracy]

how beautiful, swans are so regal 🐞
