Swans

Running though Prauge is the Vltava River. With the river comes lots of bridges. Although I expected them, they were still very cool! Something I didn't expect to be a part of the river was a large population of Swans. 

We saw them many times along the river and not just one or two, but huge groups of 50 or more! At first I thought it was really cool. Amazing even. They were so pretty and graceful in the water. 

We took tons of pictures.  I was already imagining my new cover photo on Facebook. Then I decided to try feeding them. My views quickly changed! 

I found out I hate swans. Hate might be too strong. Actually, I am terrified of them! They are big and mean and will nearly bite your hand off for a cracker. 

They are also mean to each other. They bite the other swans' necks and pull each other under the water. 

And you know those cool pictures where you see swans flapping their wings, well they are actually mad in those pictures and kind of scary to be around in real life. 

So I learned swans, not really my thing. 

But when they are far away and can't come bite you, they are beautiful.
