As always, pleasure is all mine, generous weaver!
By the way, I watched the film "Lord of Hokkaido" that you kindly introduced it to me some times ago!
It was pleasant and admirable to see how they filmed the beauty of nature and life of animals that dwelling in there.
Possibly there may be translated version of it in library or somewhere and I intend to show it to my father when I found it.
My apologize for belated response about it!
And I checked that swan-camera time to time and it was quite interesting how the mother took care of her eggs - even during the nighttime!O_o
I hope the weather is treating you nicely(today we have a sunny, pleasant day but soon it'd get rainy again!
Wishing you a wonderful day!

Thanks a lot for introducing such a wonderful song, I truly love it!*___* It was(and still is!) so nice to hear the sound of traditional Japanese drums....such like that!
There's even subs in Japanese at the beginning and was easy to understand the motivation of that project.
I'm not sure if I already showed you these but here's spring treated us this year. Hope you like it.

They're so beautiful - I have no idea what motivated anyone to call them "ugly".

Hans Christian Andersen first coined the phrase.
"The Ugly Duckling" ( Danish: Den grimme Γ¦lling) is a literary fairy tale by Danish poet and author Hans Christian Andersen (1805 β 1875). The story tells of a homely little bird born in a barnyard who suffers abuse from the others around him until, much to his delight (and to the surprise of others), he matures into a beautiful swan, the most beautiful bird of all. The story is beloved around the world as a tale about personal transformation for the better. [1] βThe Ugly Ducklingβ was first published 11 November 1843, with three other tales by Andersen in Copenhagen, Denmark to great critical acclaim. The tale has been adapted to various media including opera, musical, and animated film. The tale is completely Andersen's invention and owes no debt to fairy tales or folklore.
