Hi Debbie….spring is on it’s way here….most of the snow has melted and rain and 45 F temps predicted for next week. Those mute swans were in the river. I’ve never seen them there before as I actually went to take pics of seagulls.
I did lighten the photo a bit but not much. There isn’t much ice in the river this year flowing down from the Great Lakes, as it’s been a relatively mild winter.
We’re fine here, any cases in Ontario are Toronto way and we’re 4 hours away, and all are confined to travel. I saw the Seattle nursing home story on the news and wondered how it got spread to a nursing home? Kind of scary.
I like your “swansong” post Joni. The blue water looks inviting. Despite the mute swan who stomped out of the water to go after me for taking his/his mate’s photo, I think they are beautiful creatures; when they splash down into the water from the sky, they are silent, unlike the Canada Geese who honk their heads off. I hope this is the swansong for Winter for banana belt inhabitants and me too!
That’s what I heard too Joni … you did not jinx us though as it will be 60 on Sunday. My car got the message again for having tire monitor system checked so I took it in this morning and picked it up around 6:00. So after I took it in, I thought “I’ve gone all Winter without having to drive in the snow – and if it’s not ready and I have to come home in any snow I’ll be mad!” We were supposed to have rain this afternoon – that didn’t happen either!
I’m going to try one more time at the Detroit River before the eagles disappear … the eagle shots I took look like a little brown blog. It will be sunny both days – we’ll both get out for long walks. We had rain this morning, then off and on but never got the predicted snow flurries.
We had rain this morning, then bits of wet snow off and on, and so windy and cold – it’s not been a nice day at all! I didn’t even go out, except to bring the blue box in before it blew away.
Beautiful pic! If only winter were ending here lol…but I guess we should never wish away time…

Amazing colors in this photo. Seeing a glimpse of swans under a blue sky gives me hope that winter will soon be over.

Yes, I picked it up from another blogger. It’s a good idea when you don’t have anything ready to post!

Jo I meant to ask you if there was any coronavirus in your area?

Yes, but only in west Seattle area — Kirkland — and that confined mostly to a nursing home. How about your area, Joni?

I don’t know, maybe I spoke too early, as we may have flurries tomorrow night!

Flurries or wet snow tonight, so it won’t stick around. Should be a good weekend for bird-watching.
