Swan Sunday at the Park


On a recent visit to Hollis Gardens in Lakeland, FL I took a stroll around Lake Hollis after taking some photos at the gardens. As I made my way around the lake I found a pair of swans hanging out, one black and one grey. Strangely, I don't see swans too often in my area.



Black Swans were once believed to not exist which led to the 'Black Swan Theory' or 'Theory of Black Swan Events' developed by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. This theory is a metaphor for unexpected events that can have a major impact.

These are very good close up shots! When I lived in Naples Florida, they were everywhere! I was pretty mind blown by this as well! Thanks for sharing! I can definitely relate to your experience!

You're welcome @justintimearnold, thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful black swan! What a rarity! I've never seen one in Germany! Thanks for the share!

You're welcome @holgerwerner, this was the first black swan I have seen in years!

Beautiful swans. Must have been one serene visit!
PS, amazing photography!

Being around water is always calming, thanks @komalirfan!

I second you @liberty-minded
Have always loved going to beaches and lakes for the very reason!

Oh, oh, oh! I just visited a place called Duck Pond in Witbank, South Africa, and I wished to take photos but my cell phone died. We have black swans, can you believe it? And white peacocks. I have to work this week, but I think I will swing by and go and take those pics. Yours are lovely!

Cheers @minnaloushe, you never know when you'll need/want to take a picture!

Very good pictures
Your canon is amazingly good
Nice article overall

We have a swan family hatch every year here on the lake, but I have yet to see a black one yet... Great shots.

This was the first black swan I have seen in quite a while and they both just hung out right in front of me diving for food for a good 5 minutes!

Appreciate it @old-guy-photos!
