A soaked raven in the rain – proud, calm, and dignified. 🌧️🖤
Its silhouette cuts through the moody sky, feathers drenched, eyes sharp.
A moment of raw presence and quiet strength.

Noticed this darter watching shortly after I honked a welcome to our lake swans. They appear silently and suddenly.

this swan wants you to know that it's proud of you and existence is resistance
