Welcome to the weekly #writephoto prompt!
Ever capture a moment in time, I think I did just that below – a look between the two – no human words were uttered yet the image means you know something is happening.
I can’t wait to read your entries with this one, I think it could prove a lot of fun! Or just a name of a pub – haha. Enjoy.
For visually challenged writers, the image shows a swan in grassland staring at a small dog with a red collar.
♾♾♾♾
“Oh no, you again!“
“How many times I’ve told you not to cross my path. Now you need to slowly step back and be gone. I won’t warn you again!”
The little dog looked totally unimpressed by the swan and its threats. He looked back at his owner questioningly as if awaiting instructions.
The boy grinned back at his dog and nudged him on, “come on Oscar, you aren’t afraid of a skinny swan, are you? Let’s be on our way”
The next moment lived as a blur in both their memories.
Later on, he told his dad that the swan attacked both of them ferociously and they both had to turn tail and flee for safety.
Next time they took a different route for their walk!
♾♾♾

Swans have attacked people, but it mostly happens when they are defending their young.

It probably has a nest in those bushes.

What a nice story about caution. I have to say swans very rarely attack though. I’ve been fortunate enough to be trusted by a mum and dad and surrounded by their cygnets at the river. Even Lucy dog hasn’t provoked an attack. That said they can get aggressive when provoked so the caution is well placed!

Your story fits the picture perfectly. It does look like the swan is just daring the dog to make a move.

Thanks a lot Angie. Thank you for remembering, always. Today is the last Friday of Ramadan and so it’s more important to Muslims.

They don’t come into contact with each other every often a dog and a swan. But what curiosity they look at each other with when they do.

Haha! Great story, Sadje. I studied in the town of York and was chased more than once (for trying to encourage the goslings safely off the road) by Canadian Geese that seem to have set up home around Clifford’s Tower.
I wish you and your family a blissful and blessed Jumma.
Thank you for joining in the challenge
