Swan and Young

A mother swan and her young offspring. There was a lovely sunset causing a deep red reflection in the water. The mother swan was very protective and aggressive and reared up and spat at me a moment after I took this shot!

Edit: This photo is hosted on Zoomr! Thomas Hawk is appealing to the greed and curiousity of bloggers and giving out pro accounts to those who host a photo on their site and blog it. Hey! What can I say? I bit!

Thanks Matt, I wasn’t sure if it was too dark or not. It depends on how your monitor is configured!

Can it sing? what’s the expression for dressing a certain way?
I can’t remember. Swanned?
