Then all at once the Duckling could flap its wings: they beat the air more strongly than before, and bore it strongly away; and before it well knew how all this happened, it found itself in a great garden, where the elder—trees smelt sweet, and bent their long green branches down to the canal that wound through the region. O, here it was so beautiful, such a gladness of spring! and from the thicket came three glorious white swans; they rustled their wings, and swam lightly on the water. The Duckling knew the splendid creatures, and felt oppressed by a peculiar sadness.

I'd rather the grass didn't bisect the photo but I had to be quick as his dad was giving me the old stink-eye.

Nice exposure on the cygnet, good to see some wildlife.

Thanks, David. The focus is off and the grass is sharper than the cygnet – I have an awful lot to learn about taking decent wildlife shots! This is quite a heavy crop and I’d like to get it right ‘in frame’ but it’s harder to do than it seems. I put it up purely because the cygnet was so *cute*.
