I was driving down the road and saw a lovely Autumn scene which even included geese.

When I zoomed in a little I was surprised to see something in the foreground that definitely wasn't a goose...and kind of resembled a swan.

Imagine my excitement when I zoomed in even further and discovered it was a rare black swan!

WOW...a black swan...now that's a photo opp if I ever saw one!!!

I learned something else quite interesting when it began to flap its wings...

Their wings are white underneath!!!

What an exciting thing to see on a routine drive home!!!

The contrast between the black and white feathers is really something to behold!

So glad I had my camera along for the drive home on that crisp Autumn day!!!
