More Daffodils

These daffodils were planted at least two years ago

and have returned to enjoy the great spring weather.

Swans

A pair of mute swans on a lake at Arrowhead CC.
Notice the little tail flick, "goodbye " at the end.

The mute swan is easily distinguished from other swans by its orange bill and prominent black fleshy knob extending from the base of the bill to the forehead. Mute swans are usually silent, as the name suggests.
