It's been fun, and we have gone to a lot of places I have wanted to go for a long time. One of those places is one I actually got two several times a year...it's the major river which runs through central Oregon, the Deschutes River.
During a visit there June 26 (Yes...I remember the significance of the date), I came across something I had never seen on the river before and something I figure would make a great Camera Critter Meme subject.
It was a Mute Swan. I snapped this photo of the bird, then tried to tempt it in closer with a glucose tablet. When that didn't work, I flashed a $5 bill at it...which still didn't tempt it in closer. So I left the area. But I did get a good photo...I think.

Very nice image. Very funny tempting it with a five dollar bill. Love the reflection.
ROFL....you're hilarious!!! It is a beautiful photo even if she didn't go for the $5. :o)
$5 is not enough. the swan can't get far on a fiver with the price of corn the way it is. ;o)
Nice photo.
Come visit,

What's the significance of June 26? I forget hehehehe

Ash: What a cheapskate, you should of tried a $20. LOL
Very nice photo for CC.
It is so graceful looking .. and perhaps a little vain also as it seems to be admiring its reflection in the water!

It was too close to shore to get its reflection I guess. Beautiful shot.
