Elegant and Graceful

The weather was fabulous for the March Break from work. On a beautiful day I went for a stroll down by the bay and took some photographs of the mute swans.

Photobucket
 A pair of beautiful, graceful and elegant creatures makes their home on the bay.  They glide effortlessly around on the water, perhaps hoping that some of the trail walkers will toss a few crumbs into the water.  Many walkers stop to take photographs and admire their beauty.
 
Mosaic Monday was created by The Little Red House. You are encouraged to create and share a mosaic/collage of some photos. Why don't you stop by and see what some other participants have created. Then try creating a mosaic photo of your own and join in the fun. 

Thanks for taking time to visit today. I hope you have time to say hi and leave a comment.

  3. It is the Watermark template designer from Blogger in draft. From your dashboard, you must first check Make Blogger in Draft my default dashboard, and from there you can quickly and easily change to the new layouts. Hope this helps.

  20. Oh Linda, I love swans-they are so graceful and lovely to watch as they glide along. The water looks so sparkly and crisp...and I bet it was cold;-) Mosaic Monday sounds fun...but I'm almost afraid to participate because I'd feel pressured to visit everyone and it seems I have enough to do already! I really enjoy creating collages on Picasa...it fulfills a big part of my creative needs.

  21. Hi Jan, Mosaic Monday is a fun thing to join. I certainly don't have time to visit everyone that participates, but I do try to stop by some of my favourite places. I use Picasa as well to make the mosaics/collages.
