Cloud illusions

As is now a weekend ritual, we stopped to feed the swans this morning. Yesterday, they seemed really pleased with the corn I'd finally bought for them, gobbling it up with more enthusiasm than either potato, spinach or lettuce. The two cygnets, Paul and Ringo, have really grown since last weekend. I haven't named Mum and Dad. I think I'll call them Bob and Joni (after Dylan and Mitchell).

This was taken as they approached from the opposite bank. I like how the clouds and trees are reflected in the water.

'It's cloud illusions, I recall
I really don't know clouds at all'


-- Joni Mitchell, "Both Sides, Now" (1969)
