Thinking of the people/animal connection, one person who jumps into my mind as being a “swan” is the French actress Emmanuelle Beart. I first saw her in the 1986 French film Manon des Sources. You can see a video of images of Emmanuelle here.

I REALLY like this one!!!
Thanks, Jen! Sometime soon we are going to have to find a way to meet…
