This pond sits in the park where my wife and I like to take our evening walks. Right now a pair of mute swans are wintering there awaiting spring when we will lose them to the northern climates. Knowing this is coming I decided to keep what I could of this beautiful couple, so when they leave I will still be able to see them.

This is a very artisitic and graceful picture...looks very professional. Thank you for sharing! I'm glad you enjoy the wildlife that have come visit...too many people don't even know what treasures they have in their own vicinity!

Very beautiful shot with a nice and different pose of the swan! I like the reflection of it's neck in the water making a circle!

Beautifully elegant shot my friend! Such a sharp photo. And here again, the colours and the ripples make the photo more wonderful. The swans. They come North? to us? Or where I wonder. We are having massive Snow Geese overhead right now. They sound so wonderful. It's good to see your photos. I've neglected a lot of things here but am trying now and then to show up..take good care my friend..Verena
