Taking The Plunge

Momma decided they should all go for a swim. They were comical watching them taking the plunge into that slimmed water. One day they will look as graceful as their mom. . I took the first upload of this image off as I remembered that Owd Bob suggested that the background was kind of distracting so I deleted it and did some more editing by cropping out that background. Thanks and hope your day has been a good one. Sorry scorpie and RG for the second time around of commenting. sandi ♪ ♫

That's really cute, Sandi. The last one in looks a little timid. Great timing getting this shot. (I had at least 10 pictures on my friends list that never came up this morning. I wonder if someone hit the wrong button.)

Looks great Tigz. It is hard to get your ducks all in a row. I can only imagine how difficult it would be for swans. You probably need to talk to the Swan Man. Excellent post work and the coloring of photo is perfect. Good post.

Wonderful to see how they got their first swimming lessons as part of their education. Think however they need no lessons at all in order to learn how to swim, lol.
Great post Sandi.

I like the first one for being the bravest and that last one, still on safe ground, and pondering its fate.

What a cute family, but do not listen to much to others. One does not like the background, but I do have to admitt I am not a fan of that green frame. Smile. Keep your head up and say: Thats how I see it!

Shows the action too...the eyes are not distracted by the surrounding vegetation!...

Good work Sandi....and well done!
