Swan
i found these two parents further up river than usual, yesterday i photographed them with the remaining four cygnets, today they are childless. :( – i watched the courtship, waited anxiously for the birth, the joy of seeing them proudly paraded along the river, and now, after just a few days of new life,.....nothing
Swan belongs to the following groups:
As Is, Light and Reflection, National Parks of the World, Nikon D80 Users, North East England, The Birds, Untouchables and WaterfowlAvailable for sale as Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints and Framed Prints
