Swans

There are many creatures in the world that are beautiful, colorful and graceful. Swans are on top of the list.

I remember when I was of young age seeing a swan swimming around at a pond. In my young mind this bird appeared to be a beautiful toy, it impressed my eyes as being too beautiful to be real. Later in life I still get the same impression when I see one.

I can humbly pretend to understand why Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky (Peter I. Tchaikovsky) musical compositions make reference to swans. I assume that perhaps he too was inspired by the grace of the swan which he transformed to write such exquisite ballet music.

Here are three species of Swans:

Mute Swan

Black Swan

Black-necked Swan
