Photo Challenge: Graceful Is as Graceful Glides

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

—Oscar Wilde

Elegant writing to accompany nature’s epitome of grace.

  Thanks, Moon. I never really appreciated swans until I started photographing them. Now, I always look for them on local lakes. When I was visiting northern Michigan (350 miles away), I found there is a second species up there. Makes sense because that part of Michigan is so much further north that it really is a different type of forest.

    White swans are the most graceful birds. And I started loving them more when I saw ballet dance on TV for the first time. 🙂

    Yes, ballet and swans have much in common, with their graceful movements.

  Glad you continue to enjoy and comment on my posts. Fortunately, that quote from Wilde popped into my mind as I looked at the swan pic. No doubt Wilde is a great writer!
