Landing

Southern Vancouver Island

Putting on the brakes, with feet the size of two frying pans, makes a big splash! How this swan made it look so graceful is amazing when you consider their size, but graceful it was. Trumpeter Swan facts: In a standing position, trumpeter swans are approximately 4 feet high. However, if the neck and legs are outstretched they can measure nearly 6 feet long from bill to feet. ~ nps.gov

They probably inspired the airplane idea! :) Great capture.
