On a Walk
My friend and I went for a walk with her dog. She has a very nice German shepherd. We went through a park to a lake with swans and ducks.
We saw a swan flying with his legs in front, almost sitting. Not horizontally, like birds usually fly, but almost vertically. With his big white wings on the back like eagle’s, trying to break when he touched the surface of water, but he flew just a few centimeters above it.
We haven’t managed to take a photo of the spectacular view, because it happened too fast.
When I came closer, they started to hiss. My friend said they didn’t like the dog, but I still think they didn’t want me to approach. I didn’t have bread or anything, why would they want me?
Anyway, we still managed to take some photos of them:



On the way back, we saw a woman with a leash in her hand, but we couldn’t see any dog with her or around in the park, so we decided that she was taking a walk with her imaginary friend.

Hey! Love the photos.
It looks like a lovely park where you live.
Another great story. I guess you must be right about the women and her imaginary dog… lol
I was once chased by a swan. Well not exactly chased but I was up a ladder and there was a big swan at the bottom looking up at me, hissing loudly. I shouted to my brother to help me, chase it away or something…. But he just stood away at a safe distance, laughing and saying, “I’m not going over there, you must be kidding me.” So I stayed up the ladder for 45 minutes until another swan came along. I guess they were friends because they both toddled off together into the stream and swam away… It’s a true story…
