I really like this on many levels: its natural history element (I looked up feathers changing colour) and its allusion to Hans Christian Andersen's famous fable, and of course the ballet 'Swan Lake'.
It's also a beautiful haiku in its own right, but more than that, it acts as a catalyst to look deeper.

Thank you very much, Polona. Romania has many lakes where the swans spend the winter. They leave us in march-april.
Lovely image! Thanks.
