When Jay and I left this morning the sun was shining and it was just gorgeous out. We headed to the beach to check out the sand sculptures on our way to Portsmouth to have lunch with fellow Blogger Ann Cummings and her family. The weather often changes on a dime and today it would not disappoint. While driving up the coast a thick fog bank came in and covered everything. Then we saw a huge Swan by the side of the road…it was magical. I had to film it, the Swan, the fog, a swamp, lily pads and ducks.

Moni- Please say hello to Ann for me. Also you are so right about this feeling magical….swans, ducks, ponds, and an overcast sky
Glad you shot the video for us to see.

Hi Kathy,
The video is pretty cool. I’m glad I didn’t know that they like to bite people. LOL I would never have stood so close to them.

That’s funny…..and imagine if the Swan had chased you, just put the video over your shoulder and run like heck back to the car

I thought about that afterwards. I asked Jay if he would come rescue me. He told me would probably have just laughed at me! What a bad husband…I can see the headlines in the local paper…”Wife attacked by Swan as Husband looks on in Horror” LOL!
