Remember this cute little cygnet? He was only 3 weeks old when this was taken, and you’d hear all the visitors to the Lagoon using words like adorable, baby, cute, cuddly, and on through the alphabet of superlatives, as proud Mom and Dad looked on.

Now it’s August 6th, only 8 weeks later, and he’s sliding right into that gangly teen-aged phase of elbows, knees and parts that haven’t even been named yet, all trying to work themselves into the shape of a swan!

Can you figure out all the parts hanging out in the photo below? We’re still working on it! And we have faith that one day, Junior will turn into an elegant swan like his parents….. if he can just get that wing and foot to fit somewhere!
