Fourth of July Swans...

By Lidljo, published 7/8/08 6:47 PM

On the Fourth in the afternoon we went out on the same lake that we observed the fireworks from.  We first saw these swans flying and later ran into them on the water.  They actually let us herd them with the boat.

Love your swans - especially the last two.  Good title - eight swans a swimming!!



nice find.



Elegant birds

 



Excellent swan shots.  Loved the first one, excellent action.  (The horizon needs straightened, though.)



It is the last two for me.  I love the glistening of the sun off the water.  Beautiful



Nice shooting Jo. The taking off shot really wowed me.....nice stop action!



Jo, this would have been fun to watch...like your action stop in the first one..while doing formation like how the last one is looking in another direction, and in the third pic the sun is glistening on the water to appear like 'diamonds shining'



Nice shooting of some very beautiful birds. Fav is the take-off shot.
