Preening Swan on Swedetown Pond

Everyone now thinks they can take awesome photos with their cell phones. This is not a photo that you are getting be able to take. First of all you will have to find a swan, then you need to get really close without disturbing the swan(s). You need to be extremely patientto see a swan preening. A swan preening is a beautiful thing to observe. As the wings stretch in a manner to allow preening, the feathers make a distinct pattern that reminds us of an angel wing. I wonder if God created a swan with angels in mind.
