   The swans are building something... 🤔 Could this be the start of cygnet watch 2026?

     And if you’re curious what’s going on behind the picture today, here’s my best get. I still can’t get over the fact I carry this camera around with me all day and somehow we call it a “phone.”

     Cygnet Watch 2026 continues. Both images from this morning.

     Paul Cantrell repeated this.

     Added some color and depth to make it pop. Now I get to decide what do do with my pen. Suggestions welcome. I could just come in to add black to the beaks or do something more like this. https://mastodon.social/@Colarusso/115191700579084515 Your thoughts?

     I decided on adding pen but tried to make it a light touch. I can’t wait to see if these two become parents.

     Dear reader, I think the answer is yes. The above video was from earlier in the week, and this is the scene today.

     Same! And I wondered “What swan would tolerate that?!” Then I actually looked. Wonderful photo.
