Swan and Young
July 8th, 2006 by DonnchaA 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!

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?
