Graceful and mean

Yesterday I walked over six miles with V & S: from the Marina Green, up Fillmore, down Broadway to the Lyon Steps, down and up, then back down to Crissy Field, along the bay to the Warming Hut, then back to the Green.

It was a bright sunny day, and a warm wind blew ever-so-slightly. I had on short sleeves!

We walked passed the newly-renovated Palace of Fine Arts, and were stunned by how lovely it is. There are some mallards and other ducks paddling around the pond. We joined a few other people - a family with small children and a dog kept well away - in marveling at the beauty and grace of the swan that sat nearby, preening it's feathers.

Then almost simultaneously, us three ladies said, "And they are so MEAN!"
...and I noticed we were all keeping our distance.
