Swan Lake Rage by helenhall

Swan Lake Rage

Having just spent some time editing the many takes on my much loved wooden bowl, I seem to have dragged these swans into the frame.

Perhaps it is because their action seems to represent my day more accurately than the smooth calming surface of the bowl.

I observed these swans on the boating lake briefly this afternoon. They went round and round in circles, then flapped and made a fuss, and returned to going round in circles. There was plenty of lake to share, but there seemed to be a bit of a road rage mentality amongst them.
Ooh the Tempest ! looks as if they are having a domestic but stunning!

What a storm going on there....Wonderful capture, I so like this shot. On the lake near me we have black swans & I have seen many "goings on" like this. Captivating...

Oh wow, they can get vicious can't they. Is this a bit of a domestic or turf warfare.

A dramatic scene - and the light on the water is a perfect backdrop.
