Seeing things


Either I’m starting to lose my mind or it’s the recent postings of white swans on FS Photography (here and here) that has me seeing swans in my flowers!! 🙂

  1. So pretty and I love the title – it does look like a swan!! 🙂

    • Damn, Melanie! I think you have THE fastest comment time, ever!! Thanks so much! 😀

  2. More like a unicorn to me!

    • Ah, so you noticed the horn….yeah, it is a very rare white swan indeed! 😉

  3. LOL… Is the the greater horned swan or the lesser crested swan !?!?!… You’re right though, I think you are losing your mind… but rest assured you’re not the only one, as I saw swans in my scrambled eggs this morning… I tell ya, that’s the last time I eat breakfast in the park… teehee… Thanks for the plug Tracy… 🙂

    • Ha! As Derrick pointed out, it is the rare White Unicorn Swan… only able to be photographed by those with pure hearts! 😉

      You’re welcome! (Do you think they ever found Dave?)

      • Lol… Last I heard he was still hiding behind a sheep…

  4. Nah, you’re definitely losing your mind. Old age does that to you, ya know? 😉
    Just kidding, I do see it, too (but then again… I’m not that much younger than you!)

    Happy Birthday 🙂

    • Ha! Thanks for the support, Michaela! 🙂

      Happy, Happy Birthday to ME!! 😀

  5. I vote for losing your mind! You are a year older….. 🙂

  6. I see a super unicorn with a white flying cape!

  7. No, wait. Not a unicorn. It’s an ostrich! Super Ostrich!

  8. I now see the Ostrich (may not be a Super Ostrich, still need to investigate). But I also love the “lightbulb” in the upper right corner!

    • Ha! Man, this is certainly turning into one crazy image or ALL of you have been drinking! 😀

      Thanks, babe! ♥ ♥

  9. LOL! Between you and Brian tonight, I’ve been having myself a good chuckle reading the comment sections of your blogs!

    Is it really your b-day? Hope it was happy!

    I do love your super-hero-horned-unicorn-swan clematis!

    • And who says photographers aren’t funny, right? Glad we could provide you some light entertainment! 🙂

      Yes, my birthday today! Had a lovely dinner (including bubbly – yay!) at one of our favorite restaurants. Then, there was cake (chocolate with white icing – yum!) and hubby got me binoculars! (double yay!) Now those male cardinals don’t stand a chance!

      ‘super-hero-horned-unicorn-swan clematis’ – priceless!! Thanks, Karma! 😀

  10. Is that Dave? No wonder all the swans are so lost on the isles. Dave is in New England. And Dave, well Dave is a unicorn. Go figure! That is the best swan flower I have ever seen. It’s a pretty good image overall to boot.

    • LOL! OMG – Dave was HERE all along! I should have guessed!!! Hilarious, Sean! 🙂

      Thanks so much for the comment and the bedtime chuckle!

      Nighty-nite! Don’t let the ‘super-unicorn-ostritch-swan-flowers-named-Dave’ bite! (‘cuz I hear Dave’s a biter… 😉 )

  11. COME BACK DAVE !!!… Bob is missing you… He reckons you’ve still got his book on Origami…

    • Dave likes it here. Bob can kiss his Origami book good-bye. 😉

  12. Happy belated birthday too btw… 🙂

  13. Oh wow! Oh wow oh wow!! Er… you can tell I like this, yeah?
    🙂

  14. lol, you did manage to find a shape of a swan, love the shot 🙂

  15. I see the swan and like the first photo best. I guess it’s your b-day too so have a good one.

    • Then you, too, have a pure heart! 🙂

      Hey, no fair lumping comments (but I appreciate your playing!)

      Aw, thanks! I did and I’m enjoying ‘birthday weekend!’ 😀

  16. Super swan sighting Tracy.

  17. Oh wow, there IS a swan, a unicorn swan, in your flower. Nicely seen. This is super cool!

    • Thank you, Amber! If you didn’t guess already, the unicorn swans are the super coolest swans around. 😉

  18. Haha, you’ve got a photographic Rorschach Test going on here. I see snakes. Nice shot.

    • Thanks! How astute of you, Bob, to notice the snakes! They are the protectors of the rare super unicorn swan and come out whenever the giant blue-lightbulb makes an appearance… 😉

  19. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Yes, I saw people talking about your birthday. I’m such a smartie. LOL

    (Or such a dumbie, because you two could be joking).

    • Thank you, Babs! Yes, it was my birthday so that makes you a smartie! 😀

  20. geez, look at all these comments! lucky!

    yep, i see a hairy-necked, behorned swan. i also see cool lightbulb-shaped bokeh in the background, like the swan just had a really big, vague idea.

    • I feel lucky – thanks! 🙂

      Hmmm, ‘swam with a really big, vague idea’…..perhaps the swan isn’t Dave at all….methinks the swan is ‘Stephen’!… 😉
