Mooi John! Beautiful my friend! Mich ps ik ga nog steeds iedere dag brood brengen bij de jonge zwanen.. ze leven alle zeven nog : )

I love this time of year for the very fact that all these little families emerge. You have done such a splendid job in presenting them. This is a very lovely addition. What a beautiful graceful mother swan. Thank you for sharing.

Extremely well composed John. Another fine shot and presentation.

In other words - what a heap of ugly ducklings !!!! LOL

Like to agree with Marzena, LOL!!!!!
John, think it's quite clear that I tried (but problably not succeeded) teasing you. Love this wonderful post. Think life in Groningen is much better now for swans than in Zeeland, as I saw only a very few of them in Zeeland up till now. Posted therefore only one swan image this spring. Thanks my friend for offering me for this lack a very good compensation.
Regards, Cornelius.

Great shot of the entire family John beautiful colors... One thing we got to remember ... All those ugly ducklings are going to grow up and become a beautiful Swan like their Mom (or Dad) :)
