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!

   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?
