Black Swan

The seventh day of Christmas - The seven swans a swimming represented the the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit. These are Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership and Mercy.

It was quite an adventure searching for swans! But after researching the area, I finally found a gated community with a pond that had swans and we were able to sneak in to get these pictures!
I have to thank my wonderful husband for taking this quest with me. Happy New Year to all Blipers around the world!
