Swans

Last week when I was walking in a park, I saw swans eating from an old man’s hands. I’ve never seen anything like it. Two adults, and they’re gray, already big children, and I think literally hundreds of ducks, but I don’t know if they got any food.

Swans are beautiful, fierce creatures, wild animals that one should have a healthy resopect for. He must have come to the park every day for months and developed their trust.

One of the wonderful things about Nynäshamn is that it’s chockful of swans. If you walk by the water (we’re surrounded by the ocean on three sides), a swan pair will eventually turn up, always a husband and a wife. I’ll move to Stockholm pretty soon. I’ll miss this place.
