Needed to get out and get some much needed fresh air and clear my head today. Went to the local wildlife pond and decided to try and capture a moment in time that I would like. Well I think I did with these two beautiful swans, while all the other birds were fighting and scrapping over the bread on offer these two were wrapped up in each other. Anyway I like it and I hope you do too, Oh do you think they look like a heart ?

Hi David, I think they look like a heart. Truly beautiful creatures aren't they? You've done a splendid job capturing them too.

Thanks Mike, your comments are greatly appreciated. They are such graceful birds and so easy to get close too, I was lucky but sometimes thats all it takes I suppose.
