This young swan was spotted in the Craig-y-nos country park in Wales on Easter Sunday.
I played with the magic wand (and deleting seletions) and straight cloning tool to get this effect.
Sunday Scribblings topic for the weekend was When We Were Wee.
When I was young I got bitten on the bum by a swan
I didn't see it coming as I bent to pick up a feather
I shrieked and everyone all around heard my hurt
And I cried "Wee Wee Wee" all the way home.

And its true!
Well, I've never been attacked by a swan, but we once had an evil duck who wouldn't let anyone get to our door without attacking.
I want to laugh at the 'wee,wee,wee all the way home' but don't want to belittle your tramatic experience with the evil swan!
glad your back.
A duck followed me across the parking lot. Not much of a story, your's is though. And I really like that background.
I love your swan picture.I feel guilty I laughed at your story.
What did that rotten swan have against you? (Apart from its beak!) Most swans are reputable non-biters aren't they - that must have been your arch-enemy in disguise. Poor swans might be singing their swansongs soon if bird flu gets to them - I hope not!
I think I missed that episode of 'Stargate'
Janet - Evil ducks? hmm... we had a black peking bantam who only attacked men in black trousers... like the postman!
Joy Eliz - it is funny now.... mostly ;-)
Janey - watch out if there is a duck about! I liked how this background turned out too....
Harmonyline - thank you - no guilt necessary - I would have written it differently if I was hoping for sympathy!
JN - I've never heard that swans didn't bite... and if I had I wouldn't believe it... and despite having suffered the indignity of being bitten in a tender place by them I wish them no harm either.
Kyknoord - luckily I've missed every episode of 'Stargate' or did you mean Swangate?
Who woulda thunk it? A delicate, lovely creature with a such hard beak. weeeeee
I got attacked by two swans in Standlake Oxfordshire a few years ago. They can be quite vicious. But they're so beautiful, too. This is a great piece, Caro.
Beautiful swan picture. You do magic with your "wand"!
How funny! And I was attacked by a flamingo, and my husband has been chased by many brutal chickens. Birds are vicious creatures!
GG - delicate? Oh dear excuse me while I choke...
Wandering Coyote - really? Another thing we have in common - have you been bitten by a horse too?
Zinkibaru - thank you - I do love my magic wand!
Liani - I've been upstaged! A flamingo definitely outpinks a swan!
