#Sunset and a pair of #swans leaves the lake. We assume we lost the pair that #nested on our #island to #avianflu, but hopeful that this pair may take up residence in the #spring.

Two swans leaves a lake. It's sunset as they make their way to a narrow dyke a few feet away. The bare trees are silhouetted against an orange sky.

Is it really only Tuesday? In my mind I'm jumping ahead. Time to relax a little, maybe float for awhile...

On a brilliant April morning, a magically beautiful mute swan glides across the sapphire waters of an Ontario Lake.

This image was loosely inspired by my own original photography, captured in Ontario, Canada. It was hand-painted, digitally, in Corel Painter with a Wacom tablet, the art pen, and a wide variety of beautiful brushes.

Synchronised grooming
#photography #nature #swans #reflections

Two beautiful white swans stand in shallow water as they twist their elegant necks in exactly the same way to groom the feathers on their lower bodies, with their reflections clearly visible in the dark blue water which is also speckled with downy feathers they have removed.

Fuzzy signet siblings in a large pond, drifting gently in the quiet afternoon

#Birds #BirdsOfMastodon #Swans #Cygnets #NaturePhotography

Two fluffy grey cygnets face toward the camera. The closer one has its beak tucked into its down, cleaning itself gently. Behind it, a sibling looks directly toward it, but is blurred somewhat by the camera. There are a few ripples in the dark water, and the pond bank behind the pair is also dark and blurry

This pair of #Swans and their juvenile #Cygnets have set up a resting spot on the banks of the #Canal and on the edge of the shared #Cyclepath and #Footpath. I’d passed them before but didn’t have a camera with me at the time. As you can see, they have no concerns with people being quite close by but someone told me that they’ve been quite aggressive, no doubt if someone has been perceived to be a threat.
