There were 30+ swans on the boating lake at Southsea yesterday. I was looking for an unusual shot amongst them when this little boy and girl ran full pelt down to the edge of the water. I did feel a bit anxious as the swans lined up but luckily the children quickly ran away again.
Please excuse a lack of my usual commenting this week: we have good friends staying for a few days. I'll catch up at the weekend.
Thank you for all your views, comments and favs and I was a tad bemused (but pleasantly surprised) to see both my shots posted yesterday had reached PP (each with a modest number of favs). The 'early bee on willow' did take a bit of work but the 'farm in the valley' really just presented itself. I loved that view the moment I saw it and it was more a question of framing it.
Great capture of the little ones watching the swans. I'd be a bit wary myself, having as a little girl watched my dad being chased by a swan as he was trying to photograph it on its nest!
Good shot! It's great that you were able to get the two little ones before they ran off. They make the picture, you can tell they are excited to see the swans.
Aha, photography in the genes! And a timely warning- I'm also always wary of swans - and geese!

Me. too. When mine were little I used to see danger everywhere!
