I go and photograph them and then thank him for my job.

No shots from up their skirts?
I will go back and try again, sorry.
Those are the “Black Swans of the Economy.” They Portend….. Well, I’m not sure what they portend.
Don’t you mean African-American swans?
Did they mug the other swans?
Don’t mention “Black Swans” around Rod Dreher, SM, or he’ll barricade himself in his house and we’ll have six more weeks of winter. And canary for lunch.
@SB
Made me giggle
Elizabeth, thank you. Now get back to work… My cup of coffee won’t refill itself.
Blacks in HP? How did they ever get in?
@fred. LOL. That was funny.
Finally a post from EL.
Perhaps they were bussed in from Lake Cliff.
They likely belong to Braiden Power who owns one of the most delicious homes on the current Dallas market. 3816 Turtle Creek. He bought black swans for house eye candy (no pun intended). And they set him back a few paydays, too. Let me check my story notes… here’s the video:

Did the geese attack you? I swear to god those geese on Turtle Creek are pure evil.
They’re beautiful! Good job Spider Monkey.
He builds a giant wall along Turtle Creek to keep any others from from crossing an obviously porous border???
Perhaps these swans felt compelled to move to a new locale for their breeding season. Speaking of “that”—what happens if there is interracial hanky panky with the white swans?
Beautiful shots as always, SM and a fun departure from the hell that is my workday.
BLACK WHAT?!?!?!?!?
Those swans have attacked me twice – then I started to re-route. Not to be outsmarted, their new plan of attack is to lie in wait in the street then quack and peck the s**t out of my car for fun. Wish my dog would attack them but he’s too darn scared (and rightly so).
@Candace Evans I’ve heard that Power’s birds have been preyed upon by the local homeless.
That may explain why they don’t like people.
I know recently they have been trying to catch turtle and domesticated duck poachers in Turtle Creek. I find it hard to believe that anyone would dare eat anything out of Turtle Creek, but they do.
Bill,
From what I understand, they actually ship the turtles to Asia, where a rapacious black market awaits with open wallets and sharpened knives. Don’t they have turtles in Asia, you ask. To which I reply, Aha!– I don’t get it either. Maybe they actually sell them to those Asian restaurants up in Garland/Richardson — you know, the ones with no English on the menus.
As for the Powers estate — the house itself is absolutely stunning (fountain’s a little pompous, but hey, ain’t it cool, though), but the furnishings manage to be boring and pretentious at the same time. I don’t think you’re supposed to be both. If you’re going to go for sterile, you’d damned well better be sleek & sweeping, not small and boxy. It makes it feel like they haven’t really moved in yet.
More art would help. If he can afford it, that is.
LaRue, you’re underrated.
Those damn geese scare the living hell out of me almost every day on my run. I had to get some random guy to chase them away for me a few nights ago, and yesterday I saw a flock of them attack a Lexus that happened to be driving down “their” roadway.
