With snow excepted tomorrow if the weatherman is right I got all the outdoor christmas decorations back up in the attic with Bobs help. Had lunch out with girlfriends and a stop by Blackhills to fill one feeder and two suet holders. After I grab my camera and start heading to the lake. I see something big and white on the lake. Oh my goodness I think it's a swan and head diagonally down to hopefully catch him swimming by. My first wild sighting of a swan (I think). He's all the way across the lake so even with my zoom he's little. Two hours before sunset and light was fantastic.
Had two shots think I like this one a little better will drop the other in my extra album.
Thanks so much for all your comments and fav's .
I'm almost there.....two days + leap day
I love everything about this photo - the trail of water behind him is adorable... the reflection of those bare-limbed trees is absolutely gorgeous... the lighting is perfect.... and the uncluttered subject matter is great. Even though there's a lot going on, there's nothing to take away from that tiny, brilliantly-white swan.
