Atmospheric, moody, hauntingly beautiful . . . creates an expectation that the Lady of the Lake will rise, holding Excalibur in her outstretched hand.

Simply magnificent!

Another great one! The Swan in fact is a beautiful Princess, isn't she?

Puts me in the mood to read something about King Arthur and Avalon..

Good idea and good PP.

Andy, thanks for your great comments. AJ

It is almost as if the Swan is in some magical 'pond' with the moss draping down to kiss the water. It does remind me of what could be a scene out of a book I read about King Arthur. A place for mystical winged fairies and such.

Gail thanks so much for viewing and for your insightful comments! !!!!!   AJ
