An homage to the Swan, the national bird of Finland
“The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood” Heinrich Heine
Swans
Majestic and regal
Equal to an eagle
A bird of the royals
Worthy of the nobles
Beauties in flight
Whitest of knights
From the blue skies
Watch the dive
The black swan
Swimming at dawn
Her dark shadow
Contrast to snow







On lui doit bien cet homage.

As your excellent photos show, the swan is, indeed, a beautiful and majestic bird. Lovely little poem, too. 😀

We don’t get to see beautiful white swans like those in your photos. Often catch a glimpse of a heron migrating through our bayou area on their way further south. Beautiful birds:)

They are indeed! I am glad we have quite a few of them in ol’ Finntown 🙂
