Thanks LB. This is another of the few survivors from my first year (2008) with a camera. Being so new, every time I look at the photos I took on this particular day, I’m pretty proud of myself for not blowing the exposure on the bird.
Last year we were in Cape May, New Jersey for Thanksgiving and saw a number of swans in the bird sanctuary there. What amused us was how big swan are to tip their bottoms up in the air the way ducks do when diving for food! And yes, they can be quite nasty and aggressive when not looking serene and beautiful. 🙂 Have a blessed Christmas, Jeff.
Beautiful photo Jeff! I love the reflection of the swan in the water.
Swan are such beautiful birds, full of grace….
Yes they are, but don’t let all that beauty and grace fool you. They can be very aggressive, kind of nasty sometimes.
Very nice………as usual! 🙂 Need I say more?
Thanks Cris! That’s enough 🙂
Gorgeous reflection. I love the tones surrounding the swan
Thanks Nora.

You as well Janet.
Yes, those swans can be very aggressive, and in some places they are actually a nuisance. They aren’t native, and they can push out other waterfowl.
This is beautiful!
Thank you very much, Lisa. 🙂
Very well done. And yes, I’ve experienced aggressive swans!!
Thanks Rick. Nasty buggers aren’t they?
