Beautiful. Enjoy the weather and your visit(-;
It was a quick, but good visit. Now I’m worn out. 🙂
Wow, technology. I’m in love with this picture.
Technology is amazing. I wanted to pack light and see how it worked out. It wasn’t bad, except for the iPad WordPress app not working right for leaving comments.
Ahhh – such a Romantic Capture:) Happy Monday!
This was one of those times that happens in just an instant. They did it only that once, for a second and they never did it again. Truly a Kodak moment.
This is such a wonderful photo – what a sweet couple they make! 🙂
They are quite a handsome couple aren’t they? They must have been imported as they are not native to the U.S. and clearly had been someone’s pets.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a black swan before, beautiful! BTW, I may have accidentally deleted a comment you posted to my blog, sorry if I did. For some reason your comments are now showing up as spam, and sometimes I delete too quickly.
No worries. For some reason the iPhone and iPad were placing my comments as anonymous. It’s working tonight though.
As, how romantic! Lovely capture.
Thanks Rachael ! Just in time for Valentine’s Day
And together, their heads and necks form a heart. Great shot.
Thank you so much Tom. You saw the heart as well. It was a fleeting moment that reminds us how quickly things can change.
Beautiful couple, very well captured… 🙂
Thanks Drake ! Maybe you’ll grow up to be a black swan, instead of an black duckling
So lovely!!!!!
I looked these little ones up. They are native of Australia and there are a few places in Florida that breed and sell them. Someone dumped these two in the duckpond. Poor babies…
That’s just tragic… I hope they survive our habitat, which it sounds like they may, given that they’re native to Australia. (Unless they’re up in YOUR duckpond? Eeks!!) What is WRONG with people…. Irresponsible and selfish. These are not material items.
Omigosh! This photo is FANTASTIC!!! WOOF WOOF 🙂 🙂
Thank you so much Maggie ! I truly got lucky with that shot.
So beautiful!
So happy you enjoyed this so Judy.
They are really lovely Emily, great composition and great capture.
