A very skilled photographer friend has given me permission to share this remarkable photograph with you all.

“Zealously guarded by both parents, the proud father leading the way, five Mute Swan cygnets go for their evening walk around Swanpool Lake, near Falmouth. Sometimes itβs much easier to use the pavement”
Thanks, Kris.

So lovely. Reminded me of a similar photo that I took in Canberra of a duck family crossing the road.

It reminded me of the Ducks sculpture in Boston. I need to find a picture. π

Patti from Pilotfish has been showing those ducks recently, here’s one of her posts that shows them wearing capes:

I love the way the cygnets leave almost the exact amount of spaces between themselves and others. Lovely photo, and shows how well birds and animals take care of their young.
