So close they almost seem like one. One of my favorite childhood memories was going to this lake to see the swans so when we went back to visit I couldn't wait to see them again.
They are always so graceful and these two make an identical pair. I can imagine your excitement when you came to this lake as a child and now there are still swans. A beautiful capture.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

This is great Hilda. You know what I found out the other day (well it might not be true) - the heart shape comes from the shape the necks of mating swans make when they're beak to beak. This shot is soooo romantic, you did great to spot and shoot it.
Excellent capture. They are perfectly in sync and beautiful. The subject offset leaves plenty of lead room in the shot and plenty of space to give all that beauty room to bloom. Great job Hilda.
Always remember - Follow the Yellow Brick Road, it will lead you to the Emerald City and OZ A very nice place to be. Trust me on this one, I live there. The Lion **** MY CAEDES GALLERY****Another Site I'm AT - MY DA HOME PAGE
