I couldn't almost believe my eyes as this swan did an attempt for a vertical take off and landing (VTOL). Unfortunately, only the vertical landing was successful, 😁 .

When they flap their wings it always looks like a take off. Well timed and very nice shot Cornelius.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

Looks like he is being shot out of a submarine SEA. It looks like he is going "all ballistic" on us!
Great timing on this wonderful shot. I can almost hear Johnny Weissmuller in the background.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

As the take-off was not successful, it's good that there doesn't appear to be other swans nearby to chuckle as we are:)...good one for MM.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
