This View Made My Day!

I took these pictures at a house on the mail route I did the other day.  I had to walk a large package up to the front door and was blown away by the incredible view they have - up high over looking a lake, with a pair of swans too boot!  Understand that these pics do NOT do the view justice as seeing it in person.



Guessing the homeowner saw me deliver the package and came out to fetch it as I was taking these pics, HAHA.  I told him I was in awe of his view and had to take a couple pics.  He told me to take as many as I liked and come whenever I'd like...HMMM 🤔

Who knew Norfolk, MA had such stunning lake side views.

An Anatidae Family


According to the Google machine, a group of swans can be called a bevy, a wedge, a herd, a bank, or a flight.  Since this family looks to be "grazing", they would then be referred to as a herd. There was one other just out of frame.

I took this picture while stopped at a red light the other day on my way to the mall.  Seems Fiske Pond in Natick has always had swans or at least for as long as I can recall.

The route I take to the mall is the same one I take when visiting my aunt and uncle in Framingham, so I've passed by this pond often over the past year and have watched as a spring time pair of swans arrived, built a nest and raised their young, pictured above.

All this by passing by this area in short snapshots.  It's one of the only red lights that I don't mind getting stuck at or in a hurry to get through.
