I was thinking/hoping you would be posting some Swan images with their cygnets soon. Terrific shot Heather with vivid colour and nicely composed. Did you have to wait a bit to get them to cooperate with or framing? Looks like a beautiful day to enjoy the family.

They stood out so nicely against the water here, too bad it was so windy out but I like how it ruffled their feathers and how content they seemed to be as they swam back to the nest. This was taken a few days earlier than the other photo. Thank you so much for your comments Yves.
