a magical day in the life of

***white swan slowly gliding by***

in a graceful manner......
pure and white
sleek and strong

enjoying what's left of summer.....

I wanted to get really close to this big guy, not realising the wife was behind the reeds with their cygnets....to be fair he was pretty patient with me before deciding to have a hissy fit....
in my panic to beat a hasty retreat to the car unbeknown to me my Ralph Loren sunnys fell from my lap and twas on the drive a few minutes later I realised I no longer had them....
a quick spin a round, back to the photo shoot on the golf course and lo and behold no sunnies.... and no swan.....thogh in the distance there were a few gentlemen putting away ....
returning to the car disheartened and given up all hope of ever seeing them again....one of the players shouted across....
'are you looking for something'
'yes' I replied
'what?' he shouted back
'my pink sunnys'
'what these ones,' he yelled, putting them on his head.
'Yes' I screeched
'what will give me if I hand them back'
'A big fat kiss' I replied and ran over to him as he ran across to me where I plastered a big fat kiss on this strangers cheek....
one other gentleman turned from his buggy and yelled across at us
'we all found them, you know!'
'well get a kiss from this guy then,' I shouted back....I wasn't up for walking away up the golf course to give out more kisses....
'Not many honest people around,' he said, as he handed the sunnies over to a very happy and thankful person....
'too right.' I said

and he was right of course.....I hope he won his round of golf.....

and I wonder if daddy swan realised all the fuss that had been caused for just a few photos......
