Default A ride home quick stop

Trying to get some photography time in, took a detour on the way home from work.. Just a coupla shots ..

Swimming Lessons
More babies .. swimming with mom

No Babies for the Swans in this park ... but one did pose for me

Swan Stretching
love the 2 S shapes, the long neck and the swan on the left

Between the pressures of work and lots going on, time has be limited, I'm not getting time to sit and view SyS as much, I am viewing, just not commenting as much as usual .. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend , thanks for taking a look,

Vin

Both shots are beautiful....I see a "2" and an "S" in that 2nd shot......Does it mean "2 Swans"?? Nice shooting

Yea! A Vin photo that did not get by me. In one shot you have: cuteness, Monet-like reflections and maternal protectiveness. Add your considerable skill and what do you get? A great photo, of course. Like you, I really like the justaposition of the two shapes. The negative space is nice! Good work, Vin.

Vin these are two super captures. The colour of the water and the reflection in the first one is amazing and you compose it so well and I see we now have a competition on who can get the best swan pose, so far, yourself and beach are in a tie. Great work as usual Vin. I am sure we have not seen the last of the goslings as they grow up and eventually leave mum.

I adore the pic of the mom and the babies. Somehow I've lost the ones around here. I keep finding tons of adults but the babies are no where to be seen. I hope they just have them hidden.

Very nice shots !! That's a detour you should do more often

Really strong shots, Vin. The first one is just too cute, and your timing and the detail in the second one is right on the money. Well done.
