A beautiful frame, Mike. Serene and well caught. 🙏

Thanks Rob, swans are easily fooled and when you throw a pebble in the water they think its food and come right into the shot.

Its a variation of bait and switch. By the way where did you find what looks like hands in prayer and other emojis?

Ahh, the ‘thank you’ hands? It’s just in my phone’s emojis. 🤷♂️🧐

I don’t have a smart phone but there must be some online somewhere, getting tired of the smiley faces. 😉

Thank you V.J. I’ve never seen swans move so slowly in my life so it was just a matter of waiting.

Funny you should say that because I had a discussion with a man feeding them right next to the DO NOT FEED BIRDS sign. He gave me a very long lecture and it turned out he was feeding them some kind of special high protein bird food. Not only that but he was trying to track down some kids who shot one with an arrow. Bless us all, everyone…
