Many humans may aspire to this kind of love, and some lucky ones achieve it, but there are few other species of living beings among which this level of commitment and fidelity is to be seen.
Swans mate for life, are always together, both partners providing loving nurture to their offspring. If a swan loses his or her partner, they do not take another.
When I was a young man, living a subsistence life among the Eskimo people of the Western Alaskan tundra, I went out with them every Spring hunting migratory birds. By way of excuse and rationalization, I should mention that this was a village some 600 miles from the nearest road, where, back in the early seventies, the small store sold only such staples as flour, sugar, lard, tea, etc..
Once , when I was camping in a remote place, I shot down a swan, and it's mate circled me high overhead for two days, trumpeting out cries of lost love. Those plaintive sounds still echo in my mind, after 30 years, and, in memory, the crime only grows in enormity.

Story
Joseph is currently working with Oxfam partner CEFORD in simbili settlement as a translator and a site supervisor for the ongoing cash for work programme.
He came to Uganda with his two wives and 10 of his children. The last of his children was with the grandmother in a different location at the time the fighting broke out. He heard that they ran to Ethiopia
Having work to do according to Joseph has kept him busy away from thinking so much about the situation. He is also earning some money that has helped him put up two separate houses for his two wives.
His attachment is on a purple floral piece of bed sheet known as Melaya which he managed to carry with him at the time of fleeing.
“I love it because it was very light to carry and it kept us warm along the way to Uganda.” Joseph

This one is actually a combination of two photos - one where I could get the color of the trees and another where I could get the color of the clouds because - when I got the trees the sky would wash out. :sigh: I really need to think about a better camera...

The sun was setting and the rain had briefly let up for just long enough to steal a couple of shots of the Two Rivers Gallery in Prince George, BC. Within minutes it was pouring again.
There is a third, similar gate with the word "THERE" over the top. (My battery gave out before I was able to shoot it.) Taken alone, it could be taken as a rebuttal to Gloria Steinem's "There is no there there" remark concerning the city, Oakland, where this garden is located. Taken in concert with the other two gates they constitute the title to the Beatles song "Here, There and Everywhere".

The story behind this is heartbreaking. In his younger days, Ng Eng Teng was in love with someone, but he couldn't be with them due to "family reasons". He enshrined his love for this person in the form of two heart-shaped ponds in his garden, separated by brick and cement, but joined by an unseen pipe so the water flows from one pond to another. A sculpture of a single tear on a heart shaped stone next to the pond attests to this unspoken love, and how it always weighed on his heart.
