Janeanne,

You are welcome. The sadness of the story made it difficult to set down and focus on writing it. Martha provided some encouragement and then once I got started the story seemed to flow much easier than I expected.

Hopefully, it will change some behaviors and save some Swans. Future generations are going to need all positive nature opportunities they can find. Observing Swans certainly qualifies in my book.

Sincerely,
Larry
