Swan of South Pond

This swan lived about a mile from me at South Pond. He lost his mate due to tragedy and lived with the ducks and geese after that.

Oh how sad but at least he had a place to go. Nice work to capture his beauty

Dianne McGrath
Artist Reply: Thank you, again, Gerry. Yes, it was a sad story. He surely found lots of love here, though! He was quite photogenic ~~ he would come right out of the water & walk up to you & with the long neck look you up and down, then return to the water. Awesome swan!
