Magnificence of Arrival

Thank you, Wendi.

I screwed up, Kelly, and have been scrambling to fix it. Thank you for your comment. I do hope you are healing quickly.

That’s because I messed up. This is the swan shot!:)))

It worked, April! They stayed still while I captured the image. Thank you for your comment. I would love to visit your sanctuary.

Thank you so much, Anthea. Getting better with the eye and vision. You are helping with that.

You have many friends here, Kelly. I know they are all wishing you a speedy recovery, as I am.

Thank you, David. I always value your comments.

Thank you, Marvin.

Thank you, Louise.

I captured many shots yesterday. I will probably upload a few more over the next little while. This was one of my favourites. Thank you, Sandy, for commenting with meaningful descriptive feedback.

They are surprisingly graceful for such large birds, Julie. Thank you for your comment.

I was lucky, Antonio. They were close enough together for me to get them all in focus. Thank you for another great comment.

Holly, this is a good description for what I witnessed, “graceful elegance”. The season here provides the subdued tones. Thank you for your comment.

I love their “trumpeting” too, Katseye…can’t say it is a song, though, even if it is music to my ears. Love your comment…Thank you.

Thank you, Victoria.

Thank you, Pete.

I am glad you do, Michelle. Thank you.

It was quite a thrill to see this and capture some images. Thank you, Elaine.

This was a gorgeous sight for me, Beve. One I was very happy to capture iwith my camera. I see what you mean about the feet. I will look for that next time, probably the coming weekend. Thank you for another lovely comment.

Thank you, Lorilee. I am really happy you like this one.

Thank you, Gail.

Actually, the lead bird is a juvenile, with the two parents on top. I found the arrangement so human. Thank you Joanne for this comment and for all your wonderful comments on my work.

Hi Pat,
I am so glad I am on your watchlist. What a flattering and encouraging comment. Thank you so much,
David

Watching these huge birds is like watching large aircraft. They behave very much the same, and the risks and hazards are also the same. Thank you for all your comments on my work today.

Thank you again. I am glad you like this one.

Thank you, Sharon. I am very fortunate to live in an area where these beautiful birds spend the winter.

I love this one, too. Thank you.
