Swans Through the Seasons

Walking Tall (June 23, 2006)
Sub Title:Cygnet Growing by the Hour

Precious and Marlika’s little cygnet is growing by the hour, and making Mom and Dad almost run to keep up with all his adventures. His first forays with parents saw him shadowing Mom so closely that all you could see were two tiny webbed feet in between Marlika’s big ones as they walked.

This morning though, he proudly marched a little distance behind as they crossed the road to enjoy a grassy breakfast in the fresh morning air. He’s duck-sized now, and doesn’t hesitate to deliver a sharp peck to the neck of persistent Mallards in the water, showing a hint of his dad's feisty spirit. No need to guess whose cygnet he is!
