PROJECT BLACK : TAKE ONE

How lucky! I went to take photos of the pair of black swans that live in the office gardens this morning, only to discover that the new colour theme is BLACK!!

Gorgeous! This is my favorite photo so far. Like the others, I have never before seen a black swan. I had no idea their beaks would be red and white.

They are startling and beautiful to behold! Thank you for sharing.

WOW! That is amazing :) Such a coincidence, I just saw a few swan this morning, but they were white.

I've never seen any like these before :)

This one is too good, Jenty!
I have only the white ones. This one looks equally majestic.

Lucky you to have a beautiful black swan like that nearby.

Legos are great, aren't they. My children enjoyed them SO much.

Wow. I've never seen a black swan before. Wonderful. And love your mushy bokeh water in the background. Awesome.

Oh so pretty, I've been crazy about swans ever since I was a little kid. Loved this shot.
