Here are a few pictures I will let speak for  themselves.

I took them late one afternoon last week after I got off work for the day. I just happened to get there at a good time, as sometimes they are no where to be seen. I am still hoping to capture them learning to fly if possible.  Depends on where their aviation field is located. I sure hope I get to see the air show! That would be so “Awesome”, with or without my camera!

Hope you all are doing well and enjoying life, whatever you do, or don’t do. God Bless.

Dianne :)

    1. Thank you Joe and it is amazing to see how this family has survived, and thrived. It is really something in itself that 8 out of 9 Cygnets have survived in the Bay, with so many turtles, big fish among other peditors.
      I am thrilled. Yes, our swan population is well estabished, I would say. I am not sure whether they will all come back in the Spring or if some will spread out to other areas.
      I think the parents themselves were born hear a couple of yrs. ago. This may be their first family.

  14. Your study of the Swans is really beautiful and amazing. Your a Swan Princess or at least in my eyes. .. and I'm in aww at the beauty you have captured.

    They are all so regal and processes such natural elegance. Natures finest.

    My apologies for not seeing this blog until today. My computer has been off more than on for one reason or another this past month.

    Have the most Blessed Sunday and indeed a pleasure to view for certain.

    Hugs from the beautiful hot , wet .. West.
