On leaving the national park, we luckily spied this back swan in the reeds beside the road. She quickly started swimming back out into the lake with her babies close behind her.
@gigiflower@seattlite@kiwiellen@wordpixman@lan@anneofyork Thanks for great comments on this sweet little family. We were excited to see them :) @jaynspain Thanks Jayn. That's an interesting fact that the black and white swan both have grey babies! Wonder when they change colour? @thistle@hermann Thanks. it was a surprise to spot them and we only had a few seconds for photographs before she went beyond the reeds and out of view :) @flyrobin@girlie@bella_ss@tjchapa@mittens@milaniet Thanks for wonderful comments. We didn't have time to compose this shot as they moved out so quickly! Luckily the chicks followed in line and we had to quickly focus on them and not the reeds in front :) @mbemis I agree with you Mannie - they certainly aren't ugly ducklings :) @denisefuller@junep@ladymagpie@thresheg@moviegal1@terryliv Thanks for terrific comments and favs. I was delighted to see them and able to capture a couple of shots :) @skskunky You'll have to come down here for a visit. There are a lot around in the wild :) @cejaanderson Totally agree Jane! Think Hans Christian Anderson got it wrong :)
@janiskay Yes Janice I was really happy to find this. Had been on the lookout for them but they were usually too far away :) @leanne333 Awwwww....thanks for the fav :)
