Oh my goodness. That is so cute I can hardly stand it!!!

Of course you must watch this classic with Danny Kaye!! I adore the song, Danny, and this beautiful scene! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ok6Y77DeNA

Hi Janet ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit, and the link to the song.
I'm happy that you had a good look!!
This is 'swan country', and reckoned to be the largest collection of swans in England. Going with a camera, and you are sure to find some babies!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Mother looks so proud! What a beautiful, fluffy signet! I love swan pictures and this is one of the best!!

Best wishes, Rosa.

Hi Rosa ,
Thank you very much!
I'm really pleased that you have enjoyed it!
Of course you know the place... Maybe next year I should go a little earlier when the chicks have just hatched. Bound to be some nice pictures to go at then!

Peter

Hi Peter.

You have been able to capture in a way, for me so moving, as well as masterful from a photographic point of view, the care, the attention, perhaps still a little worried , but so proud ,of a mother towards her little one who takes her /his 'first steps'.
with sincerest and deepest admiration.
Best wishes.
Bea

Hi Bea ,
Thank you so much for your very kind and imaginative visit.
I am pleased you found it interesting.
You always mange to find some wonderful words, which as always, has made me happy too!
Best Wishes,
Peter

Hello Peter quite a good chance this is father and baby ..the reason a rather swollen Blackberry and quite thick neck compared to mom ... but who knows ..either way a lovely shot most certainly liked by me

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve ,
Thank you very much!
I am so happy that you like the scene.
As always, you are much more knowledgeable than I am on such matters, so I will trust your judgement here. Perhaps I should title the picture "Parent and baby" in line with the modern politically correct non, binary, or whatever else you might call it, way of speaking these days!
Best Wishes,
Peter

My dear Peter,

First I had thought it is a mother.. But now we know it is a father... Steve must be right..
Anyway, it is a wonderful picture really!

Love Füsun

My dear Füsun,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
Glad you like it.
At first I assumed it was the mother, because mothers are always nice to their children!
But, in the way of many people of our age, we don't always remember that fathers help look after their children too!
It is very kind of Steve to share his better knowledge, and put us right!

Love Peter

Swans are among the most photogenic birds on the planet; well captured pair, Peter! :-)

Hi Val ,
Your visit is most welcome. Thank you.
I am so happy that you like the scene.
Of course many other pictures from here that will not see light of day again!!!

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

Comme c'est mignon, j'adore les cygnes !++++++++++
j'en avais beaucoup sur un lac près de chez moi et cette année ils sont partis

Hi Jocelyne,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Glad you like it.
This is believed to be the largest colony of swans in England, but at the same time difficult to get a picture of one or two on their own!
Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

A special capture Peter, great work.

Hi Doug,

I'm happy that you had a good look!!
Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend,
Peter

What a precious image, Peter.

This is the age I'm more familiar with. They are so fuzzy and cute!
