Mary stayed with mom today, so I was out taking pics. and was able to go home for awhile.

I came across a pair of swans, and they did not seem bothered by me at all.

I did a lot of cloning in this one, they were by the side of this pond which was by the road, and there were lots of grasses, which I cloned out, but you can see some of the green in the reflection, I decided not to mess with that too much.

Thank you for commenting, and have a nice day, it was cloudy all day, and cool, but I did not let that stop me from doing what I love to do, take pictures. :))

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

A tender capture of this beauty. Well done with no blown highlights on the white bird.

If you would look "graceful" up in the dictionary, you would find this picture.

Looks like you saved the beauty of the swan Tigz. It must have been exciting to see the pair.
The whites look good.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I don't see anything that shouldn't be there, Sandi...guess I'm too taken with this beautiful bird and your great capture, including that water droplet hanging in mid-air.

You did a great job on this Sandi.

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
