Fourth of July Swans...

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.

    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'
