The noise is what first attracted me.
A huge commotion of wings and flapping.
Swans are so ungainly when trying to take off for flight
Yet so graceful in the air.
The up and down of their wings,
The harmony, the pain and the beauty,
The yin and yang of life.
For more harmonies, please visit: Camera Critters.

they are beautiful indeed.

Beautiful images Fiona. I suppose we’re all a bit like swans, graceful in some things and yet so ungainly in others.
