As you probably already know I've developed a slight obession for watching the swans when they come and spend time along the shore. I can't quite figure out why they have me so curious. I think it's something about their graceful composure even when they are frolicking along the beach. Even when they are doing their yoga posed stretches to clean their feathers they have this mysterious elegance. I wish they could teach me how to stretch like it would be very useful. Because I know if I tried to bend like that I would just fall flat on my ass. Anyway when I went on my morning stroll I was very excited when I got down to the water because what appeared to be the entire flock was along the water. I'm pretty sure they know that I enjoy watching them, and that they think that I am nuts.
I guess I just can't help myself. There's just something about them that I find absolutely fascinating. Maybe I'll never be able to fully explain it. I love watching them spread their wings, there's just something about it that draws me in. They just seem like such happy creatures, like there were two swans in the water necking...I wonder if that's where the term came from. I've always seen them in sets of two. There was another set there they were eating the dried seaweed along the beach. It was kinda sweet, I wonder if they mate for life. I think there are lot of bird species that do. It's kinda sweet to watch animals in nature when they are happy in love. Maybe it gaves me hope that humans can do it to. I think we just make things to complicated sometimes.
