ReplyDeleteOnly metaphorically I hope. :)
ReplyDeleteFinicking aside, glad you like it.
And I'd not be surprised, were you a woman of the south. :)
That's beautiful Sean!
ReplyDeleteJams,
ReplyDeleteboth we know it is easily said, 'glad you like it'.
I am glad you like it. Yes!
And why would I like it? Me who is almost always insisting on that he'd be 'absolutely logic'?
Hm, I do just like to read (some) of those legends ... again an again.
And therefore, again: Glad you like it, too. :)
Lovely photo, Sean. It makes me wonder what it's like to be a swan, looking at another swan!
ReplyDeleteVery moving story...
ReplyDeleteThe graceful elegance of swans has inspired memorable music from Tchaikovsky, Ravel and Debussy. I wonder now if they had heard the tale.
Stan,
ReplyDeleteThank you. And: Yes! Nice idea to get transformed in a swan - for a couple of hours.
Claudia,
lovely, isn't it?
As for the mentioned gentlemen: certainly they will have heard of Leda. :)
