Swans

 Many freighters continue to slip by us as we motor along the Detroit river past sights such as the steel plants at River Rouge, the Ceasar's casino in Windsor, the GM Renaissance complex in Detroit, Windsor salt works, the Ambassador bridge and Windsor's sculpture park.
One of the most spectacular sights, yet also the most unlikely is the profusion of beautiful swans that can be seen in the marshes at the river's edge.
We easily spotted at least 500 in the Windsor area (3 black).  We find ourselves wondering how many there may actually be in Lake St. Clair?  They certainly make a remarkable contrast to the somewhat shocking reality of a river that passes through 2 major cities.
