Amazing beauty and grace! Thanks for sharing your talents with us all. It brightens our world.
I have watched this video over and over and over again. When I am feeling down I watch and listen to this National Geographic Style Video created by a neighbor and I am reminded of how beautiful life is when you can get out of your head. I will never tire of watching this. It heals my soul in troubled times. Thank you for this precious gift.
This is so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you Jonathan Swanson for sharing your beautiful sonata and the photos of the Tundra Swans. Such a treat!
Such a beautiful gift to us – the photos, views, and music! Thank you Jonathan
I’m always blown away by your photography Jonathon. You are an incredible photographer as well as a wonderful bird and animal friend.
Just lovely….. Beyond Words
Thank you Thank you 🙏🏻❤️🌞✌🏻☮️🕉 for sharing this positive post!We need more people like you!
Thank you so much for sharing your talent in capturing the magnificent grace and beauty of the swans and your soul-enriching piano piece. I look forward to all of your postings here and agree with the others that your healing and empowering gifts should be shared with the world. 💖
I was just waiting for this ever since you posted your Swan composition here. You deserve all the acknowledgment Jonathan because you are obviously Super Talented and also what you share helps Hearts and Souls as only Nature and Music can do during extraordinarily difficult times as these. Please don’t forget National Geographic and other places to show your talent and creativity. I wish I could share the news clip but couldn’t figure out how from their website? Also, many people are not on NextDoor, as I discovered when trying to share the Swan video. If you post on YouTube, please let us know. I want to share your magnificent work all over the world!
You captured the moment with the swan dance – so beautiful it brought chills to me. The simplicity of nature has been my solace this past year; thank you for sharing your gift.
I will repeat what everyone else on Nextdoor has said and knows, you are extremely talented and I am very happy for you to have more of Portland see your talent. The piece on KGW was great. Glad you are getting the accolades you deserve. We are lucky to have you. Please keep doing what you do. You truly enjoy it and it shows
Jonathan, I immediately recognized your photography work and music as we watched these segments TWICE on TV last evening, and told my husband, “that is the guy on Nextdoor who does the beautiful photos and plays the piano!!” It was a most wonderful story and we both loved it!! Thank you!
Jonathan- I saw the story on the news last night. Such beautiful birds. Clearly you are very talented and have a great understanding of how to find peace in this very unpeaceful world. Thank you for sharing with the rest of us.
Jonathan, what a beautiful piece! I just realized you posted the KGW Interview. You are incredibly talented and so well spoken. And you play the piano and compose music! Someone was definitely at the head of the line when talent was being handed out. Fantastic! I’m so happy for you and for all of the people this interview touches. Well, done!
Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Jonathan. Your piano piece was soul nourishing and listening to it while watching those beautiful birds was an exquisite experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
So beautiful, I cried. I lost both my parents recently, and this lovely scene of two magnificent birds who mate for life, and the lovely music, reminded me of my parents’ 70 yearlong life together. Thank you.
Thank you so much. Very peaceful. Your music matched so perfectly. Reminded me of Eric Satie 🙏🎶⭐️
Thank You again for your great pictures. You have a extraordinary talent and must have a calming effect on nature. I think the wildlife must find you so you can share their beauty.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs. They remind us what is truly important in life, not just the little stuff we constantly fret about.
I was totally transfixed by this beautiful compilation. Thank you so much. Absolutely beautiful.
