Swan lake!
He seems to be saying “hold on just a sec honry, I have to see this last half of the game.” (3
So beautiful. Don’t mess with him, though, swans are major badasses.
它好像很享受~哈哈！~
I want to pet that fluffy neck.
so incredibly beautiful.
(and how grown up) *snort*’
tis poetry in motion. gorgeous.
thank you Matthew K for sharing this lil
pic of heaven.
I Love eet!~
Beautiful, but Philip Pullman ruined swans for me forever!
This swan has be feeling a bit down.
That would be “me” not “be”. Alas, no preview!
Laid back swan is laid back. How convenient that they come with their own built-in pillows.
And for those wondering, smigoo’s comment translated:
Looks like he’s really enjoying himself (or herself..gender neutral pronoun).
@chanpon: Thanks for the translation!!
@ smigoo: Hi!
Swannie,
How I love ya,
How I love ya,
My reclining Swannie!
Homebird be having tha ‘Gangsta Lean’ down pat. Stylin’ and profilin’!
Sippin’ on gin and… pond water.
@Samantha: A little rainwater and Everclear.
Well, question answered. Their necks do get tired!
Eeep. He’s so beautiful, but swans and geese still terrify me! They used to chase me around the park when I was a leetle girl. They were bigger than me then T_T
Doesn’t -everyone- have a memory of being ruthlessly chased by large white birds of some type?
Yeah, all I see is a swan ready to lash out at an unsuspecting human. Swans are nasty, angry things, in my experience, having had encounters with them on TWO continents (America and Wales).
I want to… cuddle with that neck! So fluffy!
But I know he would break my legs.
The original LaZboy.
Berthaservant – Bertha is a doll! The continent of Wales? Oh, why not? They gots the Corgyn! They should have a continent all to themselves.
My Norwegian father once told me that geese are very nasty creatures. He never mentioned swans, so, I, a girl of oh, maybe 24, approached a beached swan. It was then that I learned that Swans are not friendly, either, to which my NF said- “Oh, I never told you about swans?” Yeah, hmmmmmm. Learn from my mistake, Peeps. By the way, has anyone else noticed the vast array of colors now available in Peeps this year? (I may have said that backwards) Anyway, purple, yes, but green and pink and yellow and-oh, my, now that is a Peep of a different color!
Chris-that’s exactly what went thru my mind at first.
And as to being chased by large white birds…I has a solution I found out by accident. It was a rainy day out, and i was walking by geese, and of couse, they decided to come show me who was boss. I put the open umbrella down by my legs to protect them, and they scurried away. They REALLY hated it when i twirled the umbrella-it had big white & blue sections. No harm done-to either of us!
We have swans in a lake near our house. They are such beautiful creatures!
All, my, friends, know the Low Rider
The Low, Ride, er, is a little higher
*Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum, bum-bum-bum, bum-bum*
Take a little trip, take a little trip, take a little trip with meee…..
he looks so courageus, and beutiful……but dont go near him or….HONK!
Geese are softies compared to swans.
Mary Wimpey, I was chased by a flock of crows when I was about two. My parents never let me forget that. Pwnd by a bunch of birds.
Shawty got low, low, low, low…..
@Berthaservant, at my local park, something you see regularly:
Dog at lake, sees swans: “OH BOY, PREY!!!!”
(Dog bounces like a lunatic to edge of lake)
Swan, seeing dopey victim: “OH BOY, A DOPEY DOG! TAKE THAT, M!@#-F@#$!”
(Dog shoots back up bank like fiends from a hellmouth are after him)
The retractable neck is the swan equivalent of a Chevy lowrider.
If that schwan leans any farther back, his head will get lost in his feathers!!!!!!!!!!!
Really incredible.
I got me some Seagram’s gin…everbody got their cup but ain’t chipped in…
Thanks for the earworm!

I don’t recall having been chased by a group of birds, though I used to feed ducks and geese (and occasionally swans) regularly as a child. But I have been attacked by an airborne starling . . . talk about mean birds.
ellie the one and only has enterd the building….and thinks this pic is sooooo cool! lol
the pic is cute, but the caption is even cuter!!! <3
This swan is a vision of loveliness; but to be given a rlly wide berth;
After all, he is still poultry: bemindes me of when I was a teeney kidlet; my mom would dress me in a loudly-colored snowsuit and send me out to play; our resident big black rooster would always fly at my head and chase me back in the house: “Mommmmmeeeee!!!!”
a soigne swanee.
Sigh…. I miss the flying hamster faries. Not a complaint!!! just an observation!!!!
I was once surrounded by a flock of geese on the grounds of a palace in India. I was decidedly frightened when the goose herd came running from the tea house and chased them away.
I would so love to be able to bury my face in his/her floofy feathers. (I know, this could never happen!) BUT, my brother had geese and ducks he raised from Eggs, and I got to pat a goose while he held her. So lofty and warm! Maybe it was because they sensed I was one of the family, but those geese never hissed at me or anything. I was laying out in the sun on a lawn chair (doing tanning research) and they came and nattered all around me, looking for good things to eat in the grass.
ps i love the extreme neck bend action.
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin’ the scene with a gangsta lean
Bahah that’s the exact song I started singing when I read the title. Rad.
Beautiful Swan!
Now THAT’s a pretty birdie
So elegant!
Sometimes beautiful things can be dangerous!!!
And to quote my favorite Barbra Streisand movie: “Whattya gonna do, schoot da schwans?”
Adding my “eek!” 2c: #1 I’m pretty sure this is a male swan (see size of black bobble at the base of his beak, looks too big to be female). And #2, I’m also pretty sure this swan is on Red Alert. His neck is short and thick, and his wings are up; both are classic defensive postures. Maybe he’s got the wife and kids stashed away nearby? Or maybe he’s just putting on a show for a prospective wife? Men are so silly
Having grown up with swans about 50m away, I second that they’re vicious… and frankly kind of dumb. I remember once a boat was going up the canal through the locks; it was new and had a shiny reflective hull. The daddy swan (quite rightly protecting his family) saw his own reflection in the boat and thought it was another angry male swan. Thank god for fibreglass, that swan was no-holds-barred attacking the hull all the way through the lock to the other side. I’m sure it was pretty scary for the folks on the boat but it was hilarious from shore. The best part was when he finally looked around to see where he was, realized he’d left the fam on the other side of the lock unprotected, and had a huge panic attack. Daft bud!
Vicious? Mean? Please fellow animal lovers–they are protective, defending, frightened, etc. Still poultry–huh?????
Ahahahahahah LOL I have been laughing at this for days now! that caption is the funniest thing anyone ever thought of!!!!!! I just printed this off and put it in my cube at work because this is so hilarious!
