I took this one earlier this year while on vacation in Brooklyn, Mi. I had the pleasure to see a family of mute swans almost daily on the channel that the cottage sits on.
lol...had to laugh at Tick's comment...I guess he was surprised:)...'Elegant' is the perfect title for these dignified birds and your lovely closeup and lighting make it even more so...a fave for me.
Elegant and graceful, as long as there are no youngsters, Sandi. If there are youngsters they can be pretty aggressive because they've highly developed properties to protect their young. It will not be the first time that someone has sustained a broken arm due to a strike of the wings. However, I see that this one doesn't mean harm. It's only curious what you are doing, 😜 !

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Wonderful capture.
