In the gentle stillness of the water’s edge, the mute swan holds its graceful pose, neck arched in a perfect curve. Despite its name, this elegant bird is not entirely silent. It hisses, grunts, and even growls when disturbed. But in this moment, it is serene. Regal. A living sculpture gliding upon a mirror of sky and water, untouched by time.
