The Lotus and The Butterfly

A butterfly foraging on a lotus. Ah, the simple visual pleasures in life!

New Beginnings

Ducklings in spring are a sign of new beginnings. So I found this photo of a little duckling, that I took two days ago, symbolic for my new beginnings in WordPress after a long absence.

Mrs. Swan is Mourning

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.
