In his five-and-a-half hour walk yesterday from Exmouth to Exeter, my blogging friend Yorkshire Pudding took many photographs, one of which was of a swan and its cygnets. I hope YP does not mind my showing it to you here on my own blog:

Hello, world! This blog began on September 28, 2007, and so far nobody has come looking for me with tar and feathers.
On my honor, I will do my best not to bore you. All comments are welcome
as long as your discourse is civil and your language is not blue.
Happy reading, and come back often!
And whether my cup is half full or half empty, fill my cup, Lord.

ReplyDeleteA lovely photo, and thank you for the musical complement.
ReplyDeleteYou are right about the music Bob. When I closed my eyes and listened to it I could see swans on a summer river. Adrian and Snowbrush seem to think that I am an avaricious capitalist but they are wrong. I am just another cob amid the reeds.
ReplyDeleteA glorious image.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to gaze at it in silence and awe though.
What a talented young man...and you're right! The music was lovely to listen to while gazing at YP's lovely photo.
