A while back I announced the good news that Mr. Swan at Middleton Plantation in Charleston, SC received a new mate after his former companion was killed by an alligator. (https://andelieya.wordpress.com/2013/02/25/photographic-journal-lonesome-no-more/)
Today I have sad news to report: Mr. Swan passed away of old age and the new Mrs. Swan is in mourning. She looks quite lonesome in the large pond all by herself.
But rumors have it that a new (and hopefully younger) spouse will be arriving soon. There may be a happy ending after all.

I do like a happy ending 🙂

I do hope Mrs Swan gets her new companion soon and that they have a long and happy (alligator-free) life together.
Let’s keep our fingers crossed! 🙂
Oh, so sad! Beautiful photos.
Thank you so much! Life can be tough at times for all of God’s creatures.
