Taken at dawn, kneeling down on creaky knees.

Glare and all the splashing water ruined most all the first photographs of the Swans taking flight. I did get a few, no award winners, but these birds did travel from the arctic circle to get here so I’ll take what I can get.

This was such an exciting capture, Ted! I am awe-stricken! 😊 ~ Robin
Wow, thanks Robin.
Terrific, considering the conditions.
Thanks. You were there so you know there wasn’t much to work with !
Indeed!
