    The past week was so packed (as one might be able to guess from the lack of posts) that I have done some serious vegging this weekend.

    Part of that has been looking at pictures of swans.

    The collective noun for swans is either “herd” or “eyrar,” depending whom you ask.

    A swan gathers her babies under her wing.

    The name for baby swans is “cygnet.” I didn’t have to look that one up; I know that ’cause my dad is from a town called Swan River.

    Model Miranda Kerr lounges on an inflatable swan, floating in a swimming pool. Mirand is wearing twenties-style fashion.

    Not gonna lie, I definitely want that inflatable.

    And of course, no discussion of swans can ever be complete without this:

    I am of the opinion that this dress was a victory for fashion. Classic and epic.
