Beagle and Swan sounds like the name of a British pub

[JeffR]

But in actual fact is a harrowing battle. Viewer discretion is advised.

Hmm.



The conflict is joined.





The swan's hiss is impressive, but no match for the beagle's baying.



So time for reinforcements.



Hmm.



What? I was just sniffing around.

2. Lol. Smart dog

The beagle puts up a good fight, but nobody is a match for an angry swan.

either.

5. One and five are my favorites, funny, they are the solo ones. This is a precious

tale told, and beautifully illustrated.

8. Thanks. It was amazing to see these two opinionated species

sharing their opinions with each other.

The nearby geese seemed to hang around just to watch it unfold, too.

6. Stunning!

are we allowed to say stunning again yet?

This is just the perfect example of the best of photography.......capturing that MOMENT.

And, these are gorgeous in their own right!

Thanks!

9. Thank you. I think we still have a "stunning" embargo

but IIRC, I've broken it myself at least once.
