I had quite a bit of company during Wednesday evening’s sunset. To begin with, a few Canada geese were visiting.
Then this guy shows up. He was looking for bread. I didn’t have any.
He apparently got his tailfeathers in a bunch and decided to rejoin the geese.
I don’t think he nor the geese were paying much attention to the sunset.
But I was. After all, that was my reason for being out there….not to beg for bread.
I actually thought the prettiest time of sunset was over and went inside for about 20 minutes. Then I glanced out the window and knew I needed to go back for more pictures. Groom Swan was still waiting for bread. I still didn’t have any.
Perhaps if he’d learn to enjoy the sunset, it would help take his mind off food.
(At least til neighbor Susie shows up with corn.)













Just BEAUTIFUL! Groom Swan certainly DID have his tailfeathers in a bunch when you didn’t give him his usual handout – that was a great shot of him stalking off back to the water. Lovely sunset……

I am so happy to see Groom Swan again! I love this shot of him. Beautiful sunset too!
I am happy to see Groom Swan again too! And don’t you love it when the sun pops out and surprises you with an added little golden glow at sunset?!
On the first Sunday of each month I prepare communion for our church. After the service I always seek out a family or grandma who can take the left over bread to feed the ducks, etc. When nobody takes it, Rick takes it to the farm and by the next day it is always gone. Wish I could virtually send all this blessed bread to you around the first of the month. How nice of your neighbor to feed him corn. I had not thought of that, but I will now, when we go to the lake. Beautiful sunrise!
Forgive me, beautiful sunset!
Beautiful sunset….You’re falling down on the job…you went out with NO bread!! You might be reported!
Very special group of shots!! Glad you went back out for those last two!
wow, amazing how the light came back like that! very pretty!
Beautiful. Beautiful!
Wouldn’t we all be wise to focus on the beauty of a sunset instead of food? 😉 That last shot was exquisite!.
A beautifully captured progression of the sunset Dianna!
The ducks sure had a one track mind. 🙂
AMAZING last shot here!! And the one of Groom skulking off is cool .. he’ll be back .. 😉
Great pictures!
Love the last photo. Just beautiful.
Beautiful sunset…and I like your little friend the groom swan. He has a nice set of tail feathers.
Groom swan was really shaking his tail feathers. Love him!
Groom swan will get over it and be back for sure. Lovely pictures as always.
Poor groom swan. I thought he had you trained better! Sunsets are tricky sometimes!
I missed the best part of a sunset the other day. They change so rapidly! I didn’t have time to get the camera ready before the moment was gone.
Great shots…the last one is especially good!
Glad to see Groom Swan. I’ve been wondering where he was.
I always enjoy the way you enjoy the sunsets and the wildlife, it’s charming and fun. 🙂
Very pretty sunset shots Dianna!
