I like things like this. I wish we had more wildlife babies. They all have a hard time finding a safe place to call home.<br /><br />I left a response about "Flory" but in case you don't find your way back here is what I said...<br /><br />I don't know. All of the family that I knew are deceased now. I used to sleep with one of the boys, Bob, while my mom was downstairs helping another Flory into the world. She was a midwife and I was always going somewhere, sleeping with somebody in a strange bed waiting on the baby to cry so we could go home.<br /><br />Abraham Lincoln<br />My Birds BlogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-25866559705390239852009-06-01T18:57:34.750-04:002009-06-01T18:57:34.750-04:00ohhhh omg!!! so sweet!!!!!!! i have never seen bab...ohhhh omg!!! so sweet!!!!!!! i have never seen baby swans, so so cute and beautiful!!! thanks so much for sharing.Luísa Santoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17217442184484541604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-53437300881125678772009-06-01T18:36:09.020-04:002009-06-01T18:36:09.020-04:00these photos are poetry. thank you.these photos are poetry. thank you.debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676300309029588465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-91115893844842350992009-06-01T18:18:13.990-04:002009-06-01T18:18:13.990-04:00wow! what a beautiful post. edna st. v. and swans ...wow! what a beautiful post. edna st. v. and swans with a baby! my family used to take my bruvver and i down to chester near the border with wales and there were swans there. i couldn't believe how white they were and how big! it is really rare for me to see swans nowadays, but even in pictures they have a grace and a presence about them that leaves me almost breathless. this was a stunning post willow. thanks.<br /><br />stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-27403108696982608292009-06-01T18:12:42.989-04:002009-06-01T18:12:42.989-04:00awww.... love the swan pic. :-)awww.... love the swan pic. :-)highlandwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591128523125504066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-89416939578720926232009-06-01T17:27:37.907-04:002009-06-01T17:27:37.907-04:00aren't those swan chicks just the cutest?aren't those swan chicks just the cutest?julie kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009127575536333064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-50601187456515215422009-06-01T16:40:04.999-04:002009-06-01T16:40:04.999-04:00Beautiful story of the police swans.

You know Willow how I...lovely, sweet and beautiful<br /><br />You know Willow how I love animal totem meanings - here is Swan from linsdomain.com - seems quite apt for Willow of the Manor<br /><br />Grace, Beauty, Power of Self<br /> <br />The Swan is one of the most powerful<br />and ancient of totems.<br /><br />As you begin to realize your own true beauty, you unfold the ability to bridge new realms and new powers. Swan can show you how to access the inner beauty within yourself and in others.<br /><br />A Swan totem heralds a time of altered states of awareness and the development of intuitive abilities. Swan people have the ability to see the future, and to accept the healing and transformation that is beginning in their lives. Accept your ability and go with the flow. Stop denying you know who is calling when the phone rings. Pay attention to your hunches and inner knowledge, and Swan medicine will work through you.<br /><br />The Swan's call teaches the mysteries of song and poetry, for these touch the child and the beauty within.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-25550883676717963572009-06-01T14:46:23.233-04:002009-06-01T14:46:23.233-04:00They are very beautiful, and appreciated, it seems...They are very beautiful, and appreciated, it seems.
