Interludes: Making Your Own Fun

This is one of those moments that my “Interlude Project” was made for.

One of a pair with cygnets in our local Water Retaining Basin.
It had moved to the far end of the pond for a spot of bathing, cleaning and coot chasing.
Satisfied with its results, it was time to return to the chores of looking after the young.

A quick flight down the pondage and a waterski for the thrill and life could go on.

I know that it’s frowned on to anthropomorphise about them enjoying the  moment, but I really believe that they get a kick out of  the ability to skim the water and make a bit entrance.
And if they don’t, well at least it keeps me smiling.

Enjoy

All flaps down, brushing off speed and readying the landing gear.

 

Levelling out and a landing spot picked out
Steady for the big Splash
And Touch down
Any one can ski on two, it’s much more fun on one
Folding up the sails
“Mum’s Back” The young came out all excited to see the parent return.
