Water Ballet by

It is love … they have a nest in the reeds. As they swam towards each other they created the perfect heart!

A nesting pair of Black Swans. (I had seen them on my outward bound walk)
Did not have time to change settings as I could see the possibility come into the frame.

    You captured the feeling, J. Delicate and lovely.

  • Hi Jan. In this case I would have been better to be set on auto focus …. but I wasn’t and I just could see that shape taking place in front of my eyes. Thanks so much.
