Have you ever tried to wake up a couple of sleeping swans to force them to pose ?
It’s a kind of mission impossible.
I laughed at myself because I was jumping up and down on the top of the pier clapping my hands.
Then one of them woke up, the other one had to be deaf…
I admit I was awful, I know.
If a swan came to my bedroom clapping its wings and shouting to make me get up
I don’t think I’d be very sympathetic.

Beautiful scenery this evening, Marisa.
Well, I know Cygnus olor - Mute swan, but never heard about the Deaf swan ;)
