While in the Netherlands, our tour group was watching the swans across the lake, then we had to leave. Everyone left quickly, and I was about to leave. However, a lone large swan appeared below me and seemed to pose in the regal stance, very still in the water. I have a beautiful photo attached.

He stayed this way; I got my pictures and he was still there last I saw him.

Was he just posing or was he defending something. It's a beautiful, ideal, royal picture.
