Spring has Sprung, great.
Nice one Harry.
Almost monochrome. A teenager? Beautifully done.
A young mid Shipman on the pond this morning,
Inspecting the ratings with arrogant eye,
A fresh young buck from the naval academy,
Stiff necked and haughy as he glides by
He calls to the ranks," You may call me Sirrah".
Under full sail he paddles the shattered mirror.
Its still got a very shiny black beak.
That's a lovely shot Harry...thank you.
Very good Harry, I particularly like the reflection in the water.
I suspect it's got an eye on you Harry.
This is called a Cygnet, not quite an adult yet. A male swan is a Cob and female adult a Pen.
yea not quite an adult swan but it will soon have snow white plumage
A lovely composition with the swirly water and the reflections.
Lovely photo, great detail.
Lovely picture Harry, well done
"There once was an ugly duckling"
Not a quack,not a quack
Not a waddle or a quack
But a glide and a whistle
And a snowy white back
And a head so noble and high
Say who's an ugly duckling
Not I.
Thanks for the comments all, Howard P I suspect it had its eye on my dog who had barked at it from my side. H.
