The swan and I

When I was biking at Stanley Park with Isis 2 months ago, we passed by this swan.

What’s so special about this swan?? It was almost twice the size of a regular swan, undoubtedly big enough to catch our attention. We decided to stop by and take a picture of it.

At first we thought it was very gentle and going near it to snap a picture wouldn't be a problem to us.

But but…..don’t be deceived by its calm and steady look.We totally underestimated the swan.

The swan was so defensive, the moment we went near it, it opened up its wings to ‘welcome’ us. When we were 2 steps from it, it started biting our shoes already.Seriously, I thought a big fat animal like this would be a little bit retarded and tame, but I was really wrong.

SORRY LAH swan, I really looked down on you before that.

So that’s how this awkward photo is born, with a photo tittle "The defensive swan and a nervous me". What a combination !!!!
