Swan assessing hole in the ice
I is for ICE, ICY and ICICLES
Is the mute swan wondering if its tush is too big to fit in the hole?

Here you see melting ice during last week's January thaw.

The swan is probably thinking.....that looks cold...brrrrrs. :)
ReplyDeletePerhaps her mate was behind her and just disappeared!!! Love your photos!!
ReplyDeleteThe swan is obviously conducting a H&S Assessment!
ReplyDeletethe granite is magnificent and the swan took my breath away. so beautiful
ReplyDeleteIt must be born a mathematician to access the hole in the ice.
ReplyDeleteThis is a marvelous 'I' post. Your caption for the first picture is perfect. I also like the icicles on the granite.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos but the one of the swan is so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does look cold. What a beautiful swan shot!
ReplyDeleteLepiej niech nie wchodzi do małej szczeliny, bo jeszcze ugrzęźnie w lodzie. Drugie zdjęcie mroźne, ale piękne. Pozdrawiam.
ReplyDeleteBetter not enter into the small gap, because even get bogged down in the ice. The second picture cold, but beautiful. Yours.
Now, I would have said that he is looking at that tiny hole in the ice with total disgust - sort of a "can't they get anything right?" kind of thought.
ReplyDeleteI love the ice on the side of the highway!! I remember driving past those sorts of icicles and just being in awe of them!!
Love the icy shots!
ReplyDeleteThe swan does seem to be calculating something, doesn’t it? I wonder if it is getting cold feet standing on that ice.
ReplyDeleteYour shot makes that swan seem as if it could start talking any moment.
ReplyDeleteAmazing.
I like the world in white with a white swan...
ReplyDeleteIt all makes me shiver! I think that swan is looking rather skeptical about taking a dip. I sure would be.
