One of the young mute swans that I have been taking pictures of lately. I stopped by Grassy Creek today, and was thrilled to see them still there.
They are somewhat used to people, since this is a public boat launch. I know that a family across the river feeds them bread every evening, so as long as you don't show aggression, they don't seem to be bothered by people.
I was able to get up close, and used the 70-300mm IS USM with the canon 40D.
I will miss them when they have grown, and move on.
Thank you for commenting.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Very nice head and shoulders portrait, Sandi. Wish I could do that with my neck. Really great for taking candid pictures :-).

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
That's a great portrait..The 40D looks like it found a good home..R.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.
Excelent in every way, Sandi! It's so clear I tried to pet it on my screen. -Christie

A beautiful shot Sandi- such graceful lines and the downy feathers are perfect.

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
I love the close up of this young'n. Excellent shot, Sandi.

I was curious as why this swan is refered to as "mute". I Googled it and found out it is because the name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Great capture.

Hi Sandi,
What a beautiful photograph! It's so clear and you caught the shot just at the right time. I understand why you'll miss them. I would too. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful picture with all of us!
