Here I come home; in this unexpected country
They know my name and speak it with delight.
I am the dream and you my gates of entry,
The means by which I waken into light.

very kind of you Den. I was very lucky actually – I’d run out of memory on my CF card when I saw the swans coming and had to quickly erase my last image, so I only had one shot! I was hoping that it wouldn’t come out blurry and, although it isn’t quite as sharp as I’d have liked, I’m pretty happy with the result!
