Fabulous Fakes

The other day, we went to one of our favorite birdwatching ponds. There were two swans,where there had never been any before. Where did they come from? Wait, one was listing dangerously to the side. I began to wonder if he was sick, or even dead. Upon downloading the pictures and giving them a good look, I see they are FAKE!! Good grief!



“My husband gave me a necklace.  It's fake.  I requested fake.  Maybe I'm paranoid, but in this day and age, I don't want something around my neck that's worth more than my head.”

And those swans for you are like when I saw an owl out in the field ...it didn't move for days!!

Sometimes the fake can look so real.

They would have had me fooled if it wasn't for the one leaning to the side. Even fake, they make for a nice picture

Love the Rita Rudner quote. :)

they really do look REAL, except of course for the listing. the problem with wearing fake jewelery is no one knows it is fake so they still might take your head. ha ha

Hahaha! I was tricked by a duck decoy out on the big tank a few years ago. We were down here on Critter Duty and it was bitter cold with ice! The tank froze and I thought the duck was caught in the ice. Every one had a big laugh!

Could have fooled me, when I first saw your header, I thought, "how pretty". they still are. My dh once bought some, fake Mallards and put on the pond, they looked real until one turned upside down and stayed there.
Thank you for visiting and for your sweet comment. thank you too for following me.
Have a great weekend.

From a distance they sure would look real.

My Canadian geese are just the same. I would freak out if they did start to move.

Too bad that they were fake!
